July 12, 2023Recommended by Jordan B. Cooper as a good starting place to understand Barthes from a Lutheran perspective.

David Scaer is one of the great living theologians. How he is able to pack so much rich theology in such a small space is remarkable. Scaer masterfully brings out dogmatic theology from Biblical theology. Christology is at the heart of theology and this book shows why.

"Upon a manger filled with hay
In poverty content He lay;
With milk was fed the Lord of all,
Who feeds the ravens when they call."
