The Way of Salvation in the Lutheran Church by G. H. Gerberding
"The Way of Salvation in the Lutheran Church" by G. H. Gerberding is a religious treatise written in the late 19th century. The book aims to present a clear and practical understanding of the Lutheran perspective on salvation, particularly the significance of baptism and the doctrinal foundations of the faith. Gerberding engages deeply with themes of sin, grace, and the responsibilities of Christian parents in nurturing their children's faith, drawing from scriptureand Lutheran confessional writings. The opening of the work introduces the author's motivation to clarify misconceptions regarding salvation in the Lutheran tradition, specifically addressing skepticism about the church's ability to convert sinners. Gerberding begins by outlining the church's belief that all humans are inherently sinful and in need of salvation. He emphasizes the necessity of baptism as a divine means of grace, contending that infants belong to the covenant of salvation and must be nurtured in their faith from an early age. He establishes the premise that both parents and the church have a crucial role in the spiritual upbringing of children, which is a central tenet that will be developed throughout the text.
