Thy Strong Word: The Efficacy of the Word in the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions

Thy Strong Word was written for one purpose: to teach the Biblical doctrine of the efficacy of the Word in the Means of Grace - thereby utterly destroying the Church Growth Movement in the Lutheran Church. This effort also means defining the Gospel as revealed in the Scriptures - Justification by Faith.
