Paperback. "When we inquire about the meaning, nature, task, and organization of the mission, we must inquire into its origin and its ultimate goal. Only if we do this will we be able to overcome the crisis facing the church and mission today and find direction and purpose for our work. The following study is an attempt to do so." -Page 1Translated to English from German, Justification as the Formative Power of Mission by Georg Vicedom tackles the question "what is the point of mission work?" Vicedom claims that the goal of missionary work is saving people-it's not just a "perk" but the entire goal of going out into the field. He points out bad motives for mission work throughout history before pointing you back to the foundational doctrine of justification as the framework for missionary work. Pastors and laypeople alike, especially those considering mission work, will find this volume useful to help understand justification and their call from God in the world.

In this Apologetics volume, The Two Realms and the Separation of Church and State, Joel Biermann explores the Christian teaching of the two realms—church and state—and the way the relationship between them is shifting in American society. The “doctrine” of the separation of church and state is a product of the Enlightenment, post-dating Luther’s distinction of two kingdoms by many generations. The separation of church and state suggests that church and government (state) occupy two independent spheres, between which there should be no interaction, hypothetically preserving both from corruption. Luther’s doctrine of two kingdoms instead suggests just one King—God—who rules in two different ways: by the Gospel (church) and by the “sword” (state). In the present era of uncertainty and confusion regarding the proper relationship of the church and the Christian to the government, the confusion of these two approaches leads to errors and uncertainties about the status and proper voice of the Christian as a citizen. Rev. Dr. Biermann not only distinguishes these two teachings but also articulates faithful Christian citizenship as informed by Lutheran theology.
