The Spirituality of the Cross Bible Study

Dr. Gene Edward Veith has rendered a distinct service in providing a very readable guide to the faith that Lutherans believe, teach, and confess. The Spirituality of the Cross: The Way of the First Evangelicals (CPH, 1999) is something of a testimony, Veith writes as one who is an adult convert to Lutheranism. He tells how he was drawn to Lutheranism not in spite of its sacramental theology, careful catechesis, and liturgical practice but through these things. Above all, Veith demonstrates a clear understanding that the Gospel is both done and delivered. That is, Jesus Christ won our salvation by His suffering and death on the cross. His redeeming work is finished and complete. That redeeming work that was done on Good Friday is now delivered to us in the preaching of the Gospel and Absolution, in Baptism and the Lord's Supper. These gifts now enliven and shape the ordinary life of the Christian as he lives under the cross in anticipation of the resurrection of the body.
