David Henkel Against the Unitarians
by David Henkel (Introduction by Louis A. Smith)
Modern liberal ‘Christianity’ has more in common with 19th century Unitarianism
than the casual observer might realize. This volume by one of the earliest of
America’s confessional Lutheran theologians is, if anything, more important,
more timely, today than when it was originally published. Published after his
death in 1830, Henkel’s last major work is a testament to his importance as a
theologian of the Church of the Augsburg Confession. The ‘founding father’ of
the Tennessee Synod, Henkel helped establish the foundation for the first
authentically confessional Lutheran synod in America in 1820. Henkel remained
the synod’s chief theologian for the remaining decade of his life, and endured
as a formative influence for most of the history of the synod. Henkel’s Against
the Unitarians remains an insightful defense of biblical Trinitarian doctrine.
Dr. Louis Smith’s extensive (64 pages) introduction (Defensor Fidei—The
Polemical Theology of David Henkel) provides an insightful overview of Henkel’s
life and work.

Poverty—Three Essays
by Charles Porterfield Krauth
Poverty is a persistent social problem which exists because of mankind’s Fall
into sin. In this work, Krauth addresses not only the perpetuity of poverty,
but also its causes and Christian approaches to the relief of poverty. Although
originally published in 1858, Krauth’s observations are as applicable today as
when they were first written.
Charles Porterfield Krauth (1823–1883) is best remembered today for his
magnum opus, "The Conservative Reformation and its Theology.” Krauth was a
crucial figure in the promotion of Confessional Lutheranism against the
“American Lutheranism” of S.S. Schmucker (who compromised several central
biblical teachings in an attempt to appeal to various sectarian forms of
American Protestantism). After Krauth and other Conservative Lutherans withdrew
of the Schmucker-dominated General Synod, Krauth became the chief theologian of
the new General Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America.

Elements of Religion
by Henry E. Jacobs
Originally published in 1894, Elements of Religion was written by Dr. Henry E.
Jacobs (1844–1932) as a one volume introduction to dogmatic theology. Jacobs
was Norton Professor of Systematic Theology at the Lutheran Theological
Seminary in Philadelphia, and he is still well-known within the Evangelical
Lutheran Church for his translation of The Book of Concord and his History of
the Lutheran Church in the United States.
Jacobs' intention in writing Elements of Religion describes the ongoing
value of the work today: “He does not offer his construction of the system as
the best attainable, or as a great improvement on those that have already been
given; but he hopes that some of the doctrines in the true—although not very
usually assigned—relations in which they are placed, may gain fresh interest.”
(Preface) Written primarily for lay people, the 29 chapters of Elements of
Religion cover the major topics of Christian teaching under five general
headings: (1) The Prerequisites of Redemption; (2) the Preparation of
Redemption; (3) the Application of Redemption; (4) the Effects of Redemption;
and (5) the Administration of Redemption.
