Law and Gospel: by Rolf D. Preus

SynopticText has published a pamphlet by Rev. Rolf D. Preus titled God's Will for You: The Law and the Gospel. “The distinction between the Law and the Gospel is a particularly brilliant light. It serves the purpose of rightly dividing God’s Word [2 Timothy 2:15] and properly explaining and understanding the Scriptures of the holy prophets and apostles.

When that happens, Christ’s merit is hidden and troubled consciences are robbed…

SynopticText Produces SynopticTranslate™ v 0.2

Synoptic Text Information Services, Inc. has upgraded SynopticTranslate™ from version 0.1 to version 0.2.

Humbling Encouragement from the Wyoming District of the LCMS

Over the past few years, SynopticText has published two series of books on the atonement, one series about the atonement in the Age of Lutheran Orthodoxy and the other about atonement in confessional Lutheran theology. Some of them are translations into English of treasures previously inaccessible to many who do not read Latin or German. That work, and more like it, should have been done in any event, but it also has been timely because of contemporary undermining and weakness within our circles and church on the truth of the atonement. A great deal of credit goes to those who…
