Doctrinal Theology of the Evangelical Lutheran Church: Third Edition, Revised (Translated from German and Latin) / June 01, 1961

Heinrich Schmid compiled statements by 14 prominent Lutheran theologians on various systematic theological subjects to compile The Doctrinal Theology of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.

“Schmid’s text is not so much a systematic theology, but rather a compilation of theological statements from fourteen prominent Lutheran theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth century. The words of such theologians as Philip Melanchthon, Martin Chemnitz, Nicholas Selnecker, and several others are included. Schmid’s collection of texts ranges from Lutheran liturgies to treatises used by universities.” Kathleen O’Bannon, CCEL Staff
