This concludes from Part WIC7 (Table of Contents in Part WIC1) in a series presenting a new translation of all of Franz Pieper's essays previously translated in the 1933 CPH book What Is Christianity? And Other Essays. — It has been lamented by this blogger as well as some who have corresponded with me that more of Pieper's sermons were not published. But these essays serve as a good substitute, for he always strived to make his material very understandable to a wide range of listeners. These essays do not contain the more technical theological material in his Christian Dogmatics books. The machine translators had very little trouble producing good translations, unlike with many theologians' circumlocutory, philosophical, nebulous language that confuses the machine translators. — The essays in this collection were all delivered in the 20th century, so they can be seen as the best counsel and defense for the Church since Pieper died in 1931.
Table of Contents
Appendix: Christianity as a Religion of the Hereafter.
Now I present the newly translated collection of perhaps Pieper's greatest convention essays, including 1) retained emphasis of wording, 2) paging the same as the original German publications, 3) hyperlinks for navigation and references, and 4) a Table of Contents:
This book goes along with Pieper's other great books, his Christian Dogmatics, Foundation of the Christian Church, and, his first and last books, on the Augsburg Confession: 1880 and 1930.
May readers be edified, as I have been in working with these again!
