SALE—NOW THROUGH DECEMBER 21 Johann Gerhard (1582-1637) remains one of the most important theologians of the Lutheran Church and the most significant figure of the Age of Lutheran Orthodoxy. To date, however, only one major biography of Gerhard is available in English: Fischer’s Life of John Gerhard, published by Repristination Press.
Written in 1723, Fischer’s Vita Iohannis Gerhardi still stands as one of the finest histories of the life of this central figure of 17th century Lutheran theology. It is an indispensable reference for any reader who wishes to better understand the theology and history of the Age of Orthodoxy. In addition to his roughly 300 page history of Gerhard, Fischer includes a summary of all of Gerhard’s extensive writings, as well as a selection of 20 of his letters. This month’s sale includes not only Fischer’s Life of John Gerhard, but also one of Gerhard’s most enduring devotional works: The Daily Exercise of Piety (translated by Rev. Matt Harrison). These two books would normally cost $42.95, but are available until St. Thomas Day (Dec. 21) for $35.00, plus shipping: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=10259024 You may also order the books online, through the Repristination Press website: http://www.repristinationpress.com/Repristination_Press/Sale.html Repristination Press mugs, shirts, etc. are available through CafePress: http://www.cafepress.com/Repristination Rev.
