Attractive, but very short Overall, I thought that this is a pretty good book. It is extremely general (having a mere 11 pages with text on them), but gives the very young reader exposure to the concept of Lutheranism. It is a very eye-catching book, one that you can share with a young person in your life. ... Read more |
49. Authority Vested: A Story of Identity and Change in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod by Mary Todd | |

Editorial Review Product Description In recounting the history of the denomination, Todd uses the ministry of women as a case study to show how the LCMS has continually redefined its concept of authority in order to maintain its own historic identity. Based on oral histories and solid archival research, AUTHORITY VESTED not only explores the internal life of a significant denomination but also offers critical insights for other churches seeking to maintain their Christian distinctives in religiously pluralistic America.

Her true motivation for negative portrayal of her church?
Useful if understood as a piece of propoganda
For a much clearer understanding of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
History of Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Advocating Women's Ordination
Overview ofa Needed Debate As the question of women's ordination in any denomination is typically a milemarker as to where the group is heading doctrinally, socially (ethically and politically), and liturgically, it is no big shock to see the issue causing such torment among both "conservatives" and "liberals" in the LCMS. While I do not quite agree with the author's understanding of the priesthood, the very fact that she has wrestled with the issues and can present a reasoned defense laeds me to give the book four stars. A final plus about the book: it has an incredible bibliography, which is used exhaustively throughout the text. Other books that may be of interest on the question of authority and ministry are: "Priestesses in the Church" by C.S. Lewis found in his "God in the Dock"; of course Manfred Hauke's monumental "Women in the Priesthood?" is essential reading. WHile he is Roman Catholic, much of his theology could be used in the LCMS context (and is); "The Church and Women" with contributions by Von Balthasar, Kasper, Ratzinger; "God or Goddess" by Hauke; "Deaconesses" by Martimort; "Women in the Early Church" by Clark; "Women in the Church" by Louis Bouyer; "What Paul really Said About Women" by Bristow; "Women and the Priesthood" by Peter Kreeft and Alice von Hildebrand. These books are almost all oppossed to the ordination of women to the priesthood, but they are both scholarly, often rather neutral (not always!), and charitable. For an Eastern Orthodox response to the question: "The Female Diaconate:An Historical Perspective" by Gvosdev; "Feminism in Christianity: An Orthodox Response" by Belonick; "Women in the Priesthood" ed. by Thomas Hopko; "Discerning the Signs of the Times" by Behr-Sigel. For some thoughtful arguments that support "theologies of women's ordination" see: "Discerning the Signs of the Times" by Elizabeth Behr-Sigel; "Women at the Altar" by Lavina Bryne; Bristow's aforementioned book has an interesting chapter on the leadership of women in the New Testament. In my opinion he is sloppy in some of his exegesis (or should I say isogesis?) but it is worth the read if for nothing else but to understnad his approach, which is representative of the priestess position. Enjoy! ... Read more |

"With One Voice" has been a great resource for our congregation!
Wonderful Hymnal for the Lutheran Church
Insipid hymns, less depth in language, "fundamentalist" music
Excellent hymnal for morons and people without taste.

Senseless, ill-informed tripe
A well researched book, now very out-of-date But the reason why this book is soincomplete is that it was unfortunately finished in 1990, just before theEast German State and Party archives were opened, revealing a wealth ofmaterial Goeckel could not have incorporated into his book. Goeckel's bookis therefore an interesting introduction, but must be supplemented by othermore recent sources (such as his excellent article in the journal GermanPolitics and Society 31). ...

Editorial Review Product Description Inspired by and interacting with Martin Luther, the great Christian thinker who grappled most intensely with the concept of justification, Bayer explores anew the full range of traditional dogmatics (sin, redemption, eschatology, and others), placing otherwise complex theological terms squarely within their proper milieu — everyday life. In the course of his discussion, Bayer touches on such deep questions as the hidden nature of God, the hope for universal justice, the problem of evil, and — one of the book's most engaging motifs — Job's daring lawsuit with God.

The Passive Righteousness of Faith The world poses various questions to humanity, which are inescapable.We are put on trial for our very existence. These questions penetrate down into the depths of human existence.Who are you?Why have you done this?What were you thinking about?These questions and many others haunt fallen humanity and cry out for the necessity of justification.Bayer writes, "To be recognized and justified; to cause ourselves to be justified or to justify ourselves in attitude, thought, word, and action; to need to justify our being; or simply to be allowed to exist without needing to justify our being - all this makes for our happiness or unhappiness and is an essential part of our humanity" (2).With this thinking there also arises the necessity of justifying God.Why is God who he is?Why has he allowed this condition, which oppresses humanity?How can God be justified in light of evil and suffering?For Bayer all these questions find their answer in the doctrine of justification. Justification is not just one theme but it embraces the totality of all of reality (9).The questions of our lives are questions about justification and while humanity has removed God from the equation he is the one who is capable of providing that justification which is necessary.Until we are justified by Christ, the pursuit of self-justification is our law.There is no ultimate justification through this pursuit but nonetheless we struggle endlessly under it.We then become pilgrims kicked out of paradise and lacking a home. Bayer argues that the answer to this needed justification is found in God's justification of sinners through the person and work of Christ.More specifically, "This justification and righteousness which cannot be attained and won by us is the righteousness of faith.It is neither a justifying thinking nor justifying acting, neither contemplative nor active righteousness.It is a passive righteousness" (19).It is when we allow God alone to work in us and therefore there is nothing accomplished through our own powers or achievements.Our justification then becomes solely a work of God.Our faith is God's work, our justification is God's work and indeed our very salvation is the work of God to his glory. The problem of justifications while primarily philosophical in nature actually flows out of the radical fallenness of humanity.This does prove that the only adequate and sufficient answer to this problem is to be found in the reconciling work of Christ.Bayer correctly argues that the doctrine of justification touches much more then individual sinners but effects the entirety of creation.Since all of creation is fallen all of creation groans for its recreation by God in the eschaton.This groaning of creation is seen in humanity's pursuit of self-fulfillment and self-justification.The only answer is the biblical doctrine of justification. If this is true then it follows that preaching and proclamation of the Word of God must be central to the task of believers and the church.For it is only through preaching whereby one will be set free from the law of self-justification and become a slave to Christ through the passive righteousness of faith.This preaching must be distinctly law and gospel preaching.The preaching of the law will point to the continual human pursuit of self-justification, which is bound to failure while the preaching of the gospel will declare the remedy to that problem in the justifying work of Christ. Bayer's Living by Faith offers a helpful and needed antidote to the failed human attempt of self-justification.This way is only the law, which offers no hope of salvation but only further damnation.It is then only through the passive righteousness of faith obtained as a gift from God through the hearing of his Word whereby one will be saved.It is the biblical doctrine of justification by faith alone that serves as the remedy to human attempts at self-justification.The passive righteousness of faith frees us to live captive to Christ. ...
