Begun the same year he started work on his renowned dogmatics, the Loci Theologi, Johann Gerhard's Ausƒürliche schmriƒtmäßige Erklärung, is a masterpiece in its own right. In 67 chapters (31 for Baptism and 36 for the Lord's Supper), Gerhard examines issues that are still of vital importance today:
- Who may officiate at a Baptism, or celebrate the Lord's Supper?
- Was there any difference between John's Baptism and the Baptism of Jesus' disciples?
- May something other than wine be used in the Lord's Supper?
- What is the proper preparation for receiving communion?
- May Baptism be repeated?
- Is immersion necessary for a valid Baptism?
- and so on.
Gerhard's profound knowledge of the Holy Scriptures makes this volume a wonderful resource.
