Folks, if you've been waiting, wait no more, as Ash Wednesday is the last day to save 33% ($10.00) on Gerhard's "An Explanation of the History of the Suffering and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ" from Repristination Press. (Actually, I *should* encourage you to wait until tomorrow, so that RP can make more money so that more books can be published...but, at the same time, I see an obligation to encourage you to buy now, so that you have another $10 to put toward your *next* RP book. Both options are good and both options are tainted; another 'sin boldly' moment!)
If you have missed it before or haven't been paying attention, the Rt. Rev. James Heiser's message about this sale follows. EJG Begin forwarded message: From: James Heiser <[email protected]> Date: February 15, 2010 6:38:34 AM CST Subject: Gerhard-"Passion History" Sale Ends Wednesday! After being out of print for nearly two years, Johann Gerhard's "An Explanation of the History of the Suffering and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1622) is back in print! Originally published in 1998, Gerhard's "An Explanation" has been one of our best selling volumes over the years, but finances delayed a reprint for two years while several other new titles were added to our inventory. Now—finally—Gerhard's volume on the Passion is back in print, and it is on sale until Ash Wednesday (February 17). Gerhard's concern as a theologian was, above all, pastoral, and this concern is reflected in his numerous devotional books and sermon collections. Gerhard's "An Explanation" leads the reader through many types and prophecies in the Old Testament pointing forward to Christ's suffering and death. The work is divided into two introductory sermons and five 'acts' (I. In the Garden, II. At the Home of Caiaphas, III. Before Pilate, IV. Christ's Crucifixion, and V. Christ's Burial) for a total of 24 sermons. Gerhard's knowledge of Holy Scripture and his ability to connect the Old Testament types with their fulfillment in Christ combine to make this a profound book. Until February 17, we are honoring the old price of $20 a copy (plus shipping); after that date, the new list price of $30 will be in effect. (Production costs have significantly increased since '98, and this is a smaller print run that the original printing.) Gerhard's "An Explanation of the History of the Suffering and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1622) is published in hardcover and is 329 pages.
