From now through March 9, Repristination Press is offering a sale on two of our more popular devotional works: Johann Gerhard's An Explanation of the History of the Suffering and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ and Hallgrim Petursson's The Way of the Cross. The price for both works is $30.00 (plus shipping).
An Explanation of the History of the Suffering and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ (1622), by Johann Gerhard transl. by Rev. Dr. Elmer Hohle 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. However, readers will find that this books is far from “just another book of sermons”—Gerhard’s profound depth of knowledge of Holy Scripture and his ability to draw together the Old Testament prototypes with their fulfillment in Christ combine to make this work a true blessing. (Hardcover, 329 pages) “The Way of the Cross”—Selections from the Poetry of Hallgrim Petursson Hallgrim Petursson (1614–1674), known as the ‘Icelandic Paul Gerhardt,’ was one of the most influential pastors in his nation during the Age of Orthodoxy (1580–1713). Petursson’s burial hymn (included in this booklet) is used at many funerals to this day and his 50 Passion-Hymns (portions of which are included in this booklet) continue to be read every Lent. Pilcher’s introduction offers an excellent overview of the life and work of this Lutheran hymnist.
