His...For style, in my opinion, nobody beats Luther. His writing in the Catechisms is especially beautiful, even for him. My vicarage church used an explanation of his catechism based on the one written by Loehe, which I thought was quite good. The writer I would recommend next after Luther is Chemnitz, though he tends to be rather drily systematic. *The* modern book that blew my mind, though it is more narrowly focused, is B. W. Teigen's "The Lord's Supper in the Theology of Martin Chemnitz." I've been recommending it at every opportunity since I first read it over a decade ago. I used to recommend Gene Veith's books such as "Spirituality of the Cross," but I got mixed feedback about them--some of my parishioners didn't find them as accessible as I expected. A couple other authors I have heard shouted up, though I have only dipped a toe or two in their work personally, include Gerhard Forde (e.g., "On Being a Theologian of the Cross," a good study of Luther's Heidelberg Disputation) and John W. Kleinig (e.g. "Grace Upon Grace"). I would need to ask around for more input on this.RobbieFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112535005437118728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988509909991606880.post-65479579846337204902013-03-25T22:42:49.505-06:002013-03-25T22:42:49.505-06:00I know this is a rather old post, but...
