Good stuff a-comin’ from CPH

May 13, 2005 · Filed Under theology

Thanks to John H. for his great summary of all the good stuff that Concordia Publishing House (CPH) is preparing & getting ready to release in the near future.

I thank God for the blessing that Rev. McCain & his wonderful staff at CPH have been to the LCMS and Lutherans everywhere. Not only has he been fiscally/administratively astute & responsible (getting CPH into the black & even contributing $$$ back into the LCMS), but he has CPH turning out loads of good, useful, & soundly orthodox books & materials.

I’m especially excited about the not-soon-enough-to-be-released Concordia, the “Reader’s Edition of the Book of Concord”, as I would prefer a faithful updating of the Bente/Dau version of the 1580 Book of Concord (used in the Triglotta) to either the Tappert (which has some problematic translation-related issues) or Kolb/Wengert [which is a bit too "critical-text"-y -- i.e., it's a bit too, for lack of a better word, "academic" as it tries to resolve the tensions between the various versions of the BoC, and basically ends up being an "Ã¼ber-text" rather than the 1580 BoC which (for example) LCMS pastors pledge to uphold at their Ordinations.].

Check out John’s posting for the rest of the juicy details!
