Got an excerpt only of this one in the mail. It was good though, seems like an interesting german chap, this Walther. How to distinguish and then apply Law and Gospel are great questions.
The apply part must be fuller in the fuller version, imagine that.

On the back cover, it says it is about "Theology & Doctrine/Doctrines". But this is not any stuffy theology by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it is at least as much about pastoral care as it is about theology. If you want a highly original treatment on any theological theme, look elsewhere. Walther has no interest in that. There is very little really new here. Just about all of it is in the Lutheran Confessions.

This is a book on a series of lectures that Dr. C.F.W. Walther, the first president of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, gave to seminary students in the 1880's (if I remember right). I read it for a class in college and it perfectly breaks down this theological principle that helps define who we are as Lutherans. It makes for an adjusted view of how one reads scripture when they realize that it is through the law/gospel filter that we come to a truer understanding of our faith.

39 lectures to seminary students in 1884-1885. Translated from German.
Does a good job of pointing out when Law and Gospel are to be used in sermons, the difference between them, and the primacy of the Gospel.
