Originally published in 1894, Elements of Religion was written by Dr. Henry E. Jacobs (1844–1932) as a one volume introduction to dogmatic theology. Jacobs was Norton Professor of Systematic Theology at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, and he is still well-known within the Evangelical Lutheran Church for his translation of “The Book of Concord” and his “History of the Lutheran Church in the United States.” Jacobs' intention in writing “Elements of Religion” describes the ongoing value of the work today: “He does not offer his construction of the system as the best attainable, or as a great improvement on those that have already been given; but he hopes that some of the doctrines in the true—although not very usually assigned—relations in which they are placed, may gain fresh interest.” (Preface) Surely, Jacobs' exposition of the faith is of benefit to the Church in the twenty-first century, because he sets forth an unchanging doctrine drawn from Holy Scripture.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the tenets of the Lutheran faith. It positions God as the central axis of existence and the source of all revelation. The author emphasizes the sola scriptura nature of Lutheran thought and the belief in the Bible as the absolute authority on matters of religion and faith. His stance is that religion is best understood as the communion of man with God and that the true nature of this communion is revealed in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The central motif is that of redemptionâ"the process by which God reconciles humanity with the divine, restoring the broken relationship between them. The author traces the historical roots of this concept in the Judeo-Christian tradition and examines how it is developed and understood in Lutheran theology. With a focus on the doctrines of salvation by grace, justification by faith, and the importance of God's Word, this book provides a detailed analysis of the Lutheran perspective on the Christian life and the relationship between God and humanity.
