This book briefly examines the history of the understanding and use of the Lutheran Confessions as they have made their way into the Lutheran Churches in America and then outlines a tool called “the confessional spectrum” in which the various confessional methods are placed in relation to one another. On the confessional spectrum five “types” or “models” for Lutheran confessional theology are laid out through examination of the theological writings of five theologians: David Preus, James Nestingen, David Truemper, The Finnish Luther Scholars, and Marcus Borg—as well as the further investigation of one of the types through the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
