Overview In this practical pastoral resource for clergy who embrace the Reformation, Wilhelm Loehe explains the how and why of a pastors duties in the one holy catholic and apostolic church. He clarifies not just Lutheran pastoral practice in the nineteenth century, but also what it means to apply the Means of Grace to Gods people in the twenty-first century, in harmony with the Church of all ages. Topics include: Pastoral practice and ethics Homiletics Catechesis Liturgics Pastoral care and counseling To the so-called Lutheran, that is the true catholic Christian, belongs the entire past, before and after Luther. The future must belong to him as well. All things true and scriptural are his, when and where they are spoken. The norma normata i.e., the confessions of the sixteenth century is for him not congruent with the norma normans i.e., Holy Scripture in the sense that the former exhausts the latter, and that God Himself would not be permitted to give something to his Church that either did not exist in the year of 1580, or was not observed. Foreword to the First Edition of Booklet Two About the Author Wilhelm Loehe (18081872), a Lutheran pastor in Germany, was the main founder of the Missouri Synods seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He sent many missionaries to America in the nineteenth century. These missionaries helped form the Missouri Synod and the Iowa Synod (now part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America).

Johann Konrad Wilhelm Löhe was born on February 21, 1808 in Fürth, Germany.
After attending the Melanchthon Gymnasium in Nuremberg, he studied theology at the universities of Erlangen and Berlin.
As pastor of several different congregations (1831–37), he became known as a forceful advocate of Lutheran orthodoxy. His ideas on Church government, the efficacy of works, self-denial, and celibacy closely resembled those of Roman Catholicism; so also did his suggestions for liturgical reform, private confession, and frequent communion, which he promoted by scholarly studies and pastoral work. Löhe also labored to provide religious care for German emigrants, particularly those going to the United States, and he was involved in the founding of the Lutheran Missouri Synod. His interest in practical works of charity led him to found a Society for inner mission (1844) and a Society of Deaconesses (1853). In 1854 he established a deaconess motherhouse in Neuendettelsau, where he served as pastor from 1837 until his death.
