Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Election and Conversion: A Frank Discussion of Dr. Pieper's Book on Conversion Election, With Suggestions for Lutheran Concord and Union on Another Basis
It is our purpose to dwell at some length on the question of Lutheran unity in our last chapter, and so we will not develop that subject any further at this time. However, it is pertinent here to make a confession. We have passed through a strenuous mental wrestling match before venturing to submit this work for publication. The question over which we have struggled for weeks has been, Shall we, or shall we not? It was by no means an easy question to decide. First, it would be so much easier, so much more comfortable, to go along quietly, make no disturbance, stir no criticism and no further debate, and just let mat ters ecclesiastical and doctrinal go their own way. Why challenge Dr. Pieper's work? Would it not be just as well to let it have free course among our Lutheran people?
