In Lutheran Confessor: Hermann Sasse on the Essentials of the Faith, John T. Pless offers a clear and accessible introduction to Sasse's life, historical setting, and enduring theological contributions. Forged amid war, political upheaval, and church conflict, Sasse's unwavering commitment to Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions continues to offer guidance for the church today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrounded in the Book of Concord and the theology of Martin Luther, this volume presents Sasse as a pastor-theologian rather than a detached academic. Pless traces Sasse's formation within German Protestantism, his experience of World War I, and his decisive role in the church struggles of the 1930s. Readers will encounter Sasse's collaboration with Dietrich Bonhoeffer, his participation in drafting the Bethel Confession, and his outspoken resistance to the \"German Christian\" movement and totalitarian ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentral to Sasse's theology is his insistence that justification by grace alone through faith alone is not one doctrine among many, but the heart of the gospel and the foundation of faithful confession. Pless also highlights Sasse's Lutheran ecclesiology, including his understanding of the church's sacramental life, doctrinal clarity, and public witness under political pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will gain: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA clear introduction to Hermann Sasse's life and theological commitments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsight into confessional Lutheran theology rooted in the Augsburg Confession and the Book of Concord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical perspective on the church struggles of twentieth-century Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA deeper understanding of justification, the means of grace, and the church's calling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eLutheran Confessor is an invaluable resource for pastors, seminarians, theologians, and thoughtful lay readers seeking a theologically grounded portrait of Hermann Sasse and a faithful model for confessing the Christian faith with clarity and integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 23, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46662127714501,"sku":"9780758681089","price":29.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/gygCFekJPc9780758681089.webp?v=1785915389","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/lutheran-confessor-hermann-sasse-on-the-essentials-of-the-faith-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
