Paperback. Condition: New. This book has grown out of a ministry that has spanned nearly four decades. It is built around the conviction that theology does matter for theology has to do with words from God, words spoken back to God and words spoken to the world. Luther once remarked something to the effect that the cross alone is our theology. Before Luther there was the Apostle Paul who came to the Corinthians with "the word of the cross" (1 Cor. 1:18) determined to know nothing among them but Jesus Christ and Him crucified (see 1 Cor. 2:2). In essays, sermons, and homiletical studies this volume seeks to continue that apostolic aim. A significant portion of this book is devoted to sermons. Sermons, of course, are written to be preached rather than published. None the less, there is value in reading sermons. Such reading is a way of meditating on God's Word. This reading might also prompt other preachers to explore an overlooked dimension of a text for their proclamation. Sermons are never generic; they always have a context. Many of these sermons were preached in Kramer Chapel on the campus of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne where the author has served as a professor since 2000. These sermons are preaching for future preachers, equipping them in the way of Luther's oratio, meditatio, and tentatio for the burdens and joys of the pastoral office. There are occasional sermons from conferences, funerals, and ordinary congregations. Over the years, Prof. Pless has preached at over thirty ordinations or installations of pastors. A sampling of these sermons are included. They bear the imprint of the bond that exist between professor and student. More importantly they promote Jesus Christ as the Lord who calls men into the ministry and enlivens and sustains them there with His Gospel for the good of His flock. The remainder of the book is devoted to essays in pastoral theology covering the range of the author's interest from Hermann Sasse to vocation, liturgical practice to the Small Catechism, challenges to confessional Lutheranism in North America to the office of the ministry. Many of these essays originated at conferences both in the USA and abroad. The contents of this volume flow from the pulpit, desk, and podium of a man who seeks not novelty or creativity but faithfulness to the word of the cross.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. James Arne Nestingen (1945-2022) was a beloved pastor, seminary professor, and most of all a confessor and preacher of the Gospel of Jesus. After he retired from teaching church history at Luther Seminary in Saint Paul, Nestingen taught at Saint Paul Lutheran Seminary and was a guest lecturer at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne and at the seminary of the Mekane Yesus Church in Addis Ababa. He was a senior scholar in residence for 1517 and was in demand as a conference speaker. He was an active participant in the formation of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC) and served as a representative of that church body on the official dialogue between the NALC, the Lutheran Church-Canada, and The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. He will be remembered for his passion for clear Gospel preaching, his incisive theology, and his Midwestern, Norwegian humor.The essays in The Essential Nestingen: Essays on Preaching, Catechism, and the Reformation represent his scholarly but at the same accessible work in these three areas of his research and teaching. Spanning over three decades of his ministry as a teacher of the church, these essays find a common focus in Christ who is the end of the law for righteousness (Romans 10:4). They remain timely and serve not only as a testimony to Nestingen erudite scholarship but as a resource for the edification for a new generation of both pastors and lay people who share Nestingen passion for handing over the goods that he found in Luther and the Lutheran Confessions. James Arne Nestingen had a life-long love of Luthers Small Catechism. He was an ardent student of Luther and a powerful preacher of the Gospel of Christ crucified and risen. He learned from Luther how to distinguish the law from the gospel. In the pages of The Essential Nestingen, we have the delicious fruit of his faithful labor.
