The Fire and the Staff

Klemet Preus

The Fire and the Staff captures the relationship between doctrine and practice. Doctrine and practice are more closely related, even interdependent, than is often realized. Doctrine affects practice and practice affects doctrine. The two are so intimately woven together that when you change one, you will inevitably change the other, sometimes without realizing what has happened. Through stories of his own pastoral experiences, reflections on the Lutheran Confessions, the writings of Martin Luther, and Scripture itself, Klemmet I. Preus explores the impact of the American Evangelical and Church Growth Movements on the modern Lutheran Church. Preus provides critical feedback to help fellow Lutherans evaluate the importance of unity of practice for the walk together as a church. He reminds readers that practice and doctrine are inextricably linked for those who are the body of Christ. Papercover. 479 pages.
