Summary: Not just for Lutherans: A "must read" book!
Comment: Written in three sections, this book definitively explains 1) the differences between historic Lutheran doctrine and the "new thinking" doctrines; 2) the great strengths of Lutheran teachings; and 3) how the various Lutheran synods developed, and what each one teaches. I found this book to be clear, authoritative, and historically accurate. The authors do not subject the reader to their opinions, but rather they cite the original writings of the various theologians and church leaders to precisely articulate the various doctrines and errors espoused throughout church history.
It was truly a revelation to learn that all interpretations of Scripture vary based on the role "reason" plays in the process. Luther, Calvin, Armenius, Wesley, Zwingley, and the Roman Catholic Church are examined in detail as to their approach to Scripture and how the resulting doctrines and errors flow from each different approach.
This book should be read by anyone from any denomination that is searching for answers as to why their church teaches the way they do. It is a MUST READ for serious Lutherans.

Summary: Important matters to Consider for Lutherans & Christians
Comment: Does a good job of showing the problems, i.e. not trusting in God's Word alone, grace alone, faith alone, but something else needs to be added: marketing, psychology, historical critical expertise, etc.
Shows not only the demise of discernment in ELCA, but also that it's crept in the my own LCMS as well as in WELS as by brethren there sadly inform.
Gives some history to the controversies, and gives a nice appendix for the lay person, a series of doctrinal questions to ask one's pastor. Look out when you ask some!
I refer my members to this to see what's been going on in Lutheranism, even though a little outdated, valuable read and library keeper.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent for all Lutherans to read.
Comment: This is an excellent book for the Lutheran church in particular, but also Christianity as a whole since it addresses the problems and "modern" teachings in today's church. This book does a very good job highlighting the differences between the various Lutherans. The one weakness is that it does not show Scriptural support for either positions. Hence, I have developed a Scriptural handbook for use in the classroom or for further study.
