Apology of The Unchanging Forms of the Gospel
Holger Sonntag
Do the confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran church as found in the Book of Concord of 1580 contain a specific theology of worship? This question was answered in the affirmative by the Rev. Dr. Holger Sonntag in his The Unchanging Forms of the Gospel–a response to the Eight Thesis on Worship produced by the Council of Presidents of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. What then followed was a beneficial and extensive correspondence between Sonntag, Rev. Paul Strawn, and the Rev. Terry Forke, District President of the Montana District, and the author of the Eight Theses. This work contains the end result of that conversation, culminating in 46 theses that outline clearly the theology of worship found in the Lutheran confessions. It is a must read for anyone interested in the theology of Lutheran worship.
