A Great Summary of The Faith

As one outside the Lutheran tradition, gleaning inwards, this book provided a great summarization of Biblical Theology and Practical Application. I now understand better, those basic fundamentals at the heart of what separates the Lutheran faith from other protestant and reformation formed traditions.

An excellent introduction to the Christian faith from a Lutheran perspective.

Cooper did it very good.

[Tony Lee Ross Jr. · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good introduction into Lutheran theology and thought. On top of that, it has a broader application to the baptized Christian in general.

A beautiful little book.

[Chloe Morgan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very well written book explaining all the doctrines of Christian beliefs within the Lutheran Church! Gave a lot of insight, as someone who is not Lutheran.

[John Knox · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good introduction to Lutheran theology and practice. Helpful for a layperson, both Lutheran and not, in understanding Lutheran thought and worldview. Limited by design, but a good resource.

The book that introduced me to Lutheranism. Beautiful and readworth.
