The Christian Table of Duties (1588)
by Aegidius Hunnius
translated by Rev. Paul A. Rydecki
The latest book from Repristination Press is a collection of
catechetical sermons by Aegidius Hunnius (1550–1603). These twelve sermons set
forth the doctrine of vocation summarized in the "Table of Duties" found in
Luther's Small Catechism. Hunnius' sermons fill a critical gap in much of
modern Lutheran confirmation instruction, which tends to focus on the so-called
'six chief parts' while neglecting the rest of the catechism. Hunnius' sermons
on the “Table of Duties” address this need, and do so in a way which will be of
value to Lutherans of any age.
Aegidius Hunnius (1550–1603) was among the most significant of the
Lutheran theologians of the early years of the Age of Lutheran Orthodoxy
(1580–1713). From 1576 to 1592, Hunnius served on the theological faculty of
the University of Marburg and then joined the faculty of the University of
Wittenberg in 1592, helping to restore Lutheran teaching and practice in Saxony
during the reign of Duke Friedrich Wilhelm I.
It was during his years in Marburg that Hunnius completed his sermons
on the Small Catechism, to which his twelve sermons on “The Christian Table of
Duties” were appended. Rydecki's translation is based on the revised edition of
Hunnius’ sermons.

Why?—A Layman's Guide to the Liturgy
by Burnell F. Eckardt
“Why do you Lutherans do that?” Every Lutheran pastor has heard the question
(and some of them have asked it themselves). Most Lutherans don’t know as much
about the liturgy as they would like to know—this book is a solution to this
dilemma! Dr. Eckardt’s insightful“Why?” column ran for years in the pages of
Gottesdienst. Now, Repristination Press has published a collection of these
essays, together with several new “Whys?,” providing answers to 65 of those
questions which begin, “Why…?”

The Way of the Cross and
Thirty-One Meditations on Christ's Passion—
Selections from the Poetry of Hallgrimur Petursson
by Hallgrimur Petursson
"HALLGRÍMUR PÉTURSSON (1614-1674) was so blessed in his abilities as a
Christian hymn-writer that he is occasionally referred to as the 'Paul Gerhardt
of Iceland.' His Hymns of the Passion (first published in 1666) are loved in
Iceland to this day, and are aptly described as “an unquestionable work of
genius.”—Sigurbjörnur Einarsson, bishop of Iceland, 1959–1981. Ordained in
1644, the early years of Pétursson’s ministry were spent in a poor parish, and
leprosy forced his retirement from the ministry in 1669.
