Aphorisms
On the New Testament Offices
and their Relationship to the
Congregation—
On the Question of Church’s Polity
(1849)
by Johann Konrad Wilhelm Löhe
translated by Rev. Dr. John Stephenson
Registrar & Professor of Historical Theology
Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary
St Catharines, Ontario
 
 
 
 In June 1993, Repristination Press began its work of publishing the  
works of our Lutheran forefathers with a reprint of Löhe’s (or  
Loehe’s) Liturgy for Chirstian Congregations of the Lutheran Faith  
(selected portions of the third edition of Loehe’sAgende, which had  
originally been published in 1902).  Now, in connection with the two  
hundredth anniversary year of Löhe's birth, and Repristination Press'  
fifteenth anniversary year of publication, Repristination Press is  
pleased to announce publication of an English translation of Löhe's  
1849 Aphorisms.
 
 The 1849 and 1851 Aphorisms constitute Löhe’s two most significant  
detailed studies on the Office of the Holy Ministry. Dr. Stephenson’s  
translation is the first published English edition of 1849 Aphorisms.
 
 Löhe’s substantial involvement in ministry and mission in the North  
America (including founding Concordia Theological Seminary-Fort Wayne  
and providing crucial support for American missions) highlight the  
importance of  his thought for confessional Lutherans. One need not  
agree with all of Löhe’s conclusions to acknowledge the importance of  
his role in supporting confessional Lutheran theology and practice in  
North America and around the world.
 
 Dr. John Stephenson’s excellent translation of this important text  
was carried out from the original edition, including Löhe’s footnotes  
from the original edition, and additional endnotes by the translator.
