The Lutheran Difference: An Explanation & Comparison of Christian Beliefs, 500th Reformation Anniversary Edition

Overview
As Lutherans interact with other Christians, they often find themselves struggling to explain their beliefs and practices. Although many Lutherans have learned the what of the doctrines of the Church, they do not always have a full scriptural foundation to share the why. When confronted with different doctrines or denominations, they sometimes cannot clearly state their faith much less understand the differences.

Because of insecurities about explaining particular doctrines or practices, some Lutherans may avoid opportunities to share what they have learned from Christ and His Word. The Lutheran Difference identifies how Lutherans differ from other Christians and shows from the Bible why Lutherans differ. Such information will prepare Lutherans to share their faith clearly; it will help non-Lutherans understand the Lutheran difference.

This book was written entirely for the lay person but may also serve well as a high school or college religion class text. This resource would be handy for anyone looking for an additional resource beyond Luther's Small Catechism.

What began as a popular 18 booklet Bible Study series, this new work gathers together all the rich content of the series, orders it around the Nicene Creed, and presents it in one accessible volume so readers can access the facts they need.
