Content:
No twentieth-century American understood Luther's law-gospel distinction better than Gerhard O. Forde. This volume collects many of Forde's most influential writings, which expounded the meaning of this distinction and explored its theological significance. Each selection contains relevant historical background, as well as Forde's unique, contemporary understanding of the law-gospel distinction and its implications for other theological topics, including death and resurrection, the bondage of the will, good works, preaching, thological method, and the sacraments. A comprehensive editiorial introduction, including a brief biography of Forde, an inter pretive essay on his writings, and a sketch of his legacy, rounds out this essential tome
