There are two reasons which justify an investigation into the position of the seventeenth-century Lutheran dogmaticians regarding the inspiration of Scripture. First, the dogmaticians have had no small theological influence upon their Lutheran posterity, even down to the present day. Second, the attitude of the old dogmaticians toward Scripture has been the chief point where they are remembered and judged. Preus explores the writings of Gerhard Calov Quenstedt Baier Hollaz and others

This is an exhaustive, scholarly study of the age of Lutheran orthodoxy, the period from 1577 to 1713, in which Lutheran doctrine was developed, systematized, and defended by theologians such as Melanchthon, Chemnitz, Gerhard, Calov, Quenstedt, and other. In the first section, the author analyzes the rise and decline of Lutheran orthodoxy, indicating the main contributions of the major theologians. In the second section, the author analyzes the orthodox Lutheran approaches to the theological prolegomena--the methodology of theology, the relationships between natural and revealed religion, the nature of theology, and the training and posture of the theologian. The third section gives a thorough discussion of the orthodox theologians' approach to Scripture--its inspiration, authority, interpretation, reliability, and efficacy. Volume 1 of 2.
