Scholarly Work On Misunderstood Doctrine

This is a timely work, much needed to be read and studied and applied by the church today. The confusion over the office of the public ministry and the priesthood of all believers is so misunderstood and malpracticed.Klug provides a thorough analysis of Luther and Walther's positions along with Scriptural analysis. There should be no confusion that today's pop opinions on this vital teaching is aschew with that of Luther and the church catholic.See also Kurt Marquart's volume "The Church" in the Lutheran Academny Dogmatics Series.
