Gerhard's Theological Commonplaces

“Gerhard’s Loci is the greatest doctrinal text in the entire history of Lutheranism. By putting these splendid volumes in the English language, CPH ensures access to the solid teaching of the orthodox Lutheran Church in one of its greatest expressions ever penned. And CPH is virtually the only Lutheran publishing house in the world with the capacity, fidelity, and will to produce such gems!”

—Matthew C. Harrison, president, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

“Among the strengths of Gerhard are his clear definitions of terms, his abundant use of Scripture, his thorough knowledge of the church fathers, and the clarity of his outline and arguments. The notion that the Lutheran dogmaticians were philosophical debaters rather than careful exegetes of Scriptures is quickly disproved by the way in which Gerhard presents testimony from the Bible. . . . [It is] a work that deserves its recognition as the outstanding work of Lutheran (i.e. biblical) dogmatics.”

—John F. Brug, Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly
