Ever since Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg centuries ago, Lutheran theology has had to overcome political, religious, and societal pressures that challenged its foundational teachings. But do Lutherans today understand their theological heritage well enough to maintain and defend their unique beliefs when outside pressures dismiss them as irrelevant to modern-day Christianity? Hallmarks of Lutheran Identity sets forth more than twenty important practices, doctrines, and beliefs that distinguish the Lutheran Church from all other denominations. Some of the topics covered include, sola gratia, sola fide, sola Scriptura, and solus Christus; the dichotomy of Law and Gospel; Christ's presence in the Lord's Supper; and, Luther's unique insight on the theology of the cross. Engaging and insightful for both layperson and pastor, Hallmarks of Lutheran Identity will deepen your understanding of Lutheran theology and its rich historical traditions, enabling you to confidently answer the question, what do Lutherans believe?

Well, of course, I did read the book. Dr. Schmidt presents a number of "practices, doctrines, and beliefs" that make us Lutherans different from other Christian traditions. He laid it out pretty well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to someone who wanted to read up on Lutheranism. ... Okay, that's not entirely true. That personality clash reared its head a few times as I was reading. So I'd hesitate a little bit...
Still, check it out.
