Historians of liturgy and theology will discover insights and important continuity between the Lutheran churches of the sixteenth century and their forebears of the late medieval period.

Download or read book Worship Wars in Early Lutheranism written by Joseph Herl and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How important was music to Martin Luther? Drawing on hundreds of liturgical documents, contemporary accounts of services, books on church music, and other sources, Joseph Herl rewrites the history of music and congregational song in German Lutheran churches. Herl traces the path of music and congregational song in the Lutheran church from the Reformation to 1800, to show how it acquired its reputation as the "singing church." In the centuries after its founding, in a debate that was to have a strong impact on Johann Sebastian Bach and his contemporaries, the Lutheran church was torn over a new style of church music that many found more entertaining than devotional. By the end of the eighteenth century, Lutherans were trying to hold their own against a new secularism, and many members of the clergy favored wholesale revision or even abandonment of the historic liturgy in order to make worship more relevant in contemporary society. Herl paints a vivid picture of these developments, using as a backdrop the gradual transition from a choral to a congregational liturgy. The author eschews the usual analyses of musical repertoire and deals instead with events, people and ideas, drawing readers inside the story and helping them sense what it must have been like to attend a Lutheran church in the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Parallel developments in Catholic churches are discussed, as are the rise of organ accompaniment of hymns and questions of musical performance practice. Although written with academic precision, the writing is clear and comprehensible to the nonspecialist, and entertaining anecdotes abound. Appendixes include translations of several important historical documents and a set of tables outlining the Lutheran mass as presented in 172 different liturgical orders. The bibliography includes 400 Lutheran church orders and reports of ecclesiastical visitations read by the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gassmann and Hendrix expertly present the historical context for the Reformation in its beginnings and development as background to the emergence and gathering of the Confessions. Core chapters then explore (1) the structure of faith (Scripture as norm law-gospel framework, the Trinity, and justification), (2) Christian community (the sacraments, ministry, the nature of the church), and (3) the Christian life (the two reigns sin, sanctification, eternal life). A final chapter examines the role the Confessions play in today's ecumenical, pluralistic environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemnitz-Andreae Church Order shows not only what those who confessed the Augsburg Confession believed, but how the Lutheran Reformation put that faith into action and handed down the faith by means of orderly worship, church governance, and education. This text is crucial for avoiding misinterpretations of the Lutheran Confessions and the Reformation as a whole. Knowing the actual churchly practice of Formula of Concord chief authors Martin Chemnitz and Jacob Andreae is necessary in order to put their biblical teaching and confession into context. It also may inspire new solutions for the church's problems regarding Christian education, formation of Christians who stand in their confession against worldly influences, and congregational leadership. This work consists of two parts: the Body of Doctrine and the Agenda (or Church Order). The Body of Doctrine is a precursor to the Formula of Concord (1577). The Agenda deals with numerous topics, such as: Order of liturgy for Sundays, Weekdays, and other services and pastoral functions Prayers Liturgical music Call process for pastors Church governance, the office of church superintendent, synodical assemblies, and consistories Customs Marriage and divorce Schools Office of schoolmaster Monastery schools (how former monasteries were put to good use after the Reformation) Alms and church-sponsored social welfare Features include: Snapshot of school and church life in the territorial church led by Chemnitz, a main author of the Formula of Concord (one of the Lutheran statements of faith) Ancient worship music and chant set to modern musical notation "Luther, the Confessions, and Confessors on Liturgical Freedom and Uniformity" by the Rev.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharp controversies -- about biblical authority, the ordination of women, evangelical "worship styles," and the struggle for homosexual "inclusion" -- have rocked the Lutheran church in recent decades. In Changing Churches two men who once communed at the same Lutheran Eucharistic table explain their similar but different decisions to leave the Lutheran faith tradition -- one for Orthodoxy, the other for Roman Catholicism. Here Mickey L. Mattox and A. G. Roeber address the most difficult questions Protestants face when considering such a conversion, including views on justification, grace, divinization, the church and its authority, women and ministry, papal infallibility, the role of Mary, and homosexuality. They also discuss the long-standing ecumenical division between Rome and the Orthodox patriarchates, acknowledging the difficult issues that still confront those traditions from within and divide them from one another.

Excerpt: ... chapter xxxii. the confessions in america. Lutheran congregations were established in America as early as the seventeenth century. Their members came from Sweden, Holland and Germany. There can be no doubt that they brought with them the determination to adhere to the Lutheran Confessions, though the precise, sense in which they subscribed the Confessions is not now a matter of record. We know, however, that the instruction given in 1642 to Governor Printz, of Xew Sweden, by the Swedish Crown, was as follows: "Above all things, shall the Governor consider and see to it that a true and due worship, becoming honor, laud and praise, be paid to the Most High God in all things, and to that end all proper care shall be taken that divine service be jealously performed according to the Unaltered Augsburg Confession, the Council of Upsala, and the ceremonies of the Swedish Church; and all persons, but especially the young, shall be duly instructed in all the articles of their Christian faith, and all good discipline shall in like manner he duly exercised and received." The pastors and congregations of Dutch extraction subscribed the Amsterdam. Church, Order, ' which pledged the congregations to the unaltered Augsburg Confession. This Amsterdam Church Order had existed sincei 1597. Later it included all the Symbolical Books. The posi-j J, csocf/Zf, tion of the Germans is clearly indicated in the title of one of their Church Books, which is: "Church Book of the Church of the Germans who embrace the Augsburg Confession." 'We also know that at least some of the German pastors, as, for instance, Muhlenberg in 1739 and Brunnholtz in 1744, had, at their ordination, pledged themselves to all of the Symbolical Books, and some, if not all those sent from...
