“ELDoNA Bishop, the Rt. Rev. James D. Heiser is much more optimistic about the future of Lutheranism. ... The six essays give a background in the personal journey of James Heiser from The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod to the Evangelical Lutheran Diocese of North America. He makes his frustrations with the LCMS known in a gap between theology and practice in his former body. "Lay Ministry," DELTO, SMP, and District training programs are not what AC XIV had in mind, so say the least. Reading this book gives me hope for a recovery of traditional and confessional understanding of the Office of the Holy Ministry and its oversight in American Lutheranism.” —The Rev. Paul J. Cain, Editor, LHP Quarterly Book Review, Wyoming District Worship Chairman, LC–MS   Stewards of the Mysteries of God Rt. Rev. James D. Heiser, M.Div, S.T.M.

Walther and the Lutheran Confessions (A comparison of the central tenets of Walther's doctrine of the Church and that which is confessed in the Book of Concord) • Ministry and the Ordained Diaconate in the 16th and 17th Century Lutheran Church (The historic Lutheran understanding of the diaconate is substantially different from that of the Reformed and many modern Lutherans) • Pastoral Responsibility and the Office of the Keys in the Book of Concord (An examination of that aspect of the office referred to as "jurisdiction" in the Augsburg Confession) • Bishops, Councils and Authority in the Church in the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope (The Treatise was written in the context of an invitation to attend an Ecumenical Council and it was written as a Lutheran response to the claims of Papalists and Conciliarists regarding authority in the Church) • The Future of Ecclesiastical Oversight among Confessional Lutherans (The modern neglect of Visitation and Ecclesiastical Oversight is examined in light of the Reformation-era practices) 188 pages • ISBN: 978-1891469411 • paperback • $13.95 TO ORDER FROM AMAZON, PLEASE USE THIS LINK: http://amzn.com/189146941X YOU MAY ALSO ORDER DIRECTLY FROM REPRISTINATION PRESS: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=C8FMVS46PJ2SQ Rt.
