J. T. Mueller successfully condenses Dr. Francis Pieper’s three-volume dogmatics text of confessional Lutheranism into one volume. Dr. Pieper was teacher of Dogmatics at Concordia Seminary from about 1880 to 1930 and wrote the original text in German.
From the author’s Foreward:
The aim of this volume is “to present the voluminous doctrinal material in Dr. Pieper’s Christliche Dogmatik as clearly, concisely, and, at the same time, as completely and practically as possible in order that the student of doctrinal theology might have a usable compend to introduce him into this important field of sacred theology and the busy pastor an adequate epitome of the Christian faith to assist him in his review of the subject.”
