I composed the website www.franzpieper.com many years ago after doing extensive research on Dr. Franz Pieper. The material there may seem to ramble, but I was on a mission. It seems Dr. Pieper's reputation had been tarnished by those who followed him at Concordia Seminary and the Missouri Synod. But after reading his major work of Christian Dogmatics (3 volume set), I knew there was something wrong with those who made charges against him. This is because his writings only build up true Christian faith and so I could not see how he could cause divisiveness.
I now know that those who charged him with improper advise and conduct relating to church fellowship matters were the ones who led to the downfall of the old Missouri Synod. Today's "Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod" largely apologizes for Luther. Not so the old (German) Missouri Synod.
Back To Luther... and the old (German) Missouri Synod. Below are thoughts, confessions, quotations from a Missouri Synod Lutheran (born 1952) who came back to his old faith... and found more treasures than he knew existed in the training of his youth. The great Lutheran lineage above: Martin Luther, C.F.W. Walther, Franz Pieper.
