Ministry, Word and Sacraments: An Enchiridion

Rating:
Summary: Small--but packed with powerful theology
Review: This book is a translation of Chemnitz' "little book" originally written for pastors. The text is written in a catechetical style, a question-and-answer format, with chapters covering such topics as the Word and Sacraments and ceremonies of the church. The translator, Luther Poellet, tried to keep some flavor of the original Latin and German and, thus, the sentences are often wordy, which to the modern reader can be an impediment. Nevertheless, this book asks and answers some questions that are important to the modern Church; this book is definitely worth reading and using as a reference.
