Rediscovering the Issues Surrounding the 1974 Concordia Seminary Walkout presents the important doctrinal issues that contributed to the conflict and, ultimately, the shattering of a church body.In this book from Concordia Historical Institute, twelve theological scholars examine the causes and issues involved during this tumultuous time. Was it a battle for the Bible? Or was it primarily a contest between two men-Jacob A. O. Preus and John H. Tietjen-revolving around the historical-critical method's approach to biblical interpretation and the understanding of what constituted unionism? Was it primarily a political institutional power struggle? Or was there more to it?Each chapter addresses a different doctrinal issue and explores the historical and theological background of it.

The distinction between the Law and the Gospel is an often-overlooked necessity when comprehending Scripture. Law and Gospel are not meant to be balanced or coordinated; rather, they should be rightly distinguished. This distinction is not a theoretical abstraction but a functional necessity for preaching and pastoral care lest sinners be left with their own attempts at righteousness, which can lead only to arrogance or despair.The thirteen exploratory essays in The Necessary Distinction work through the implications of this distinction for preaching, pastoral care, liturgy, mission, and Christian living. Each essay will draw readers into a deep look at the Holy Scriptures so that Christ Jesus is preached with greater clarity and broken sinners are given the full consolation of the forgiveness of sins.

For use with the comprehensive Bible overview, Concordia's Bible History and its accompanying student workbook, this teacher book includes answers to the student workbook questions, reproducible tests, and answers for each unit's discussion questions.
