Justification by Faith: A Matter of Death and Life

Justification in Terms of Life and Death
Another good read. O Forde makes a great case both from Luther's writings and scripture that Justification needs to be placed not only as a forensic/courtroom truth as in the Lutheran Confessions but needs also to be restored under the 'death/life' category as well. It's not until we come to the end of our own 'theological rope' and despair of our self efforts towards salvation (via the ...

Powerful, unmistakably Lutheran theology
Like many others, I read Forde's _Where God Meets Man_ back in college, and it blew my mind. His unmistakably Lutheran critique of Lutheranism showed me how the truth that never changes still speaks across the centuries. Here is a guy who takes the "difficult" topics from the tradition (eg. Law/Gospel - Justification - Predestination - Theology of the Cross) and shows how they can still and ...

Captivation of the Will: Luther Vs. Erasmus on Freedom and Bondage (Lutheran Quarterly Books)

A Great Teacher
Gerharde Forde is a great teacher, and it is a fitting tribute to his life and work that Eerdmans would publish two volumes of his work in their "Lutheran Quarterly Books" series. "A More Radical Gospel" is a longer and equally excellent collection of Professor Forde's work, but this is the volume I kept hoping would come out, because Forde's teaching on Luther's Bondage of the Will is ...

Where God Meets Man: Luther's Down-To-Earth Approach to the Gospel

Good News: A Radical Book - A Radical Gospel
Gerhard Forde's book is the clearest articulation of Martin Luther's theololgy that I have read. Shortly after Luther's death - and perhaps even during Luther's later life - the Reformation movement began to drift into Orthodoxy and lose some of the scandalous edge that is inherent to the very nature of a Gospel that turned - and still turns - the world "upside down". With great clarity and ...

The Love of God . . . Creates
"The Love of God does not first discover but creates what is pleasing to it." Thesis 28. My dog-eared copy of this book got that way through reading it during my daily commutes on the train through Heidelberg, Germany, where Luther delivered his Disputation in front of his Augustinian Order. As an Army Chaplain, and familiar with much suffering, I've found deep solace in knowing that ...

Forde Hits A Homerun Again!
Theology is not meant to glorify library-bound scholars--its purpose is to enable proclamation! Gerhard Forde hits this home in this easy to read and wonderfully insightful book. Frequently using down-to-earth illustrations, he states his case with elegant simplicity. Regardless of your religious tradition, this book will enrich your understanding of God--guaranteed. You'll love it!
