Excerpt from Compend of Lutheran Theology: A Summary of Christian Doctrine, Derived From the Word of God and the Symbolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church The little work which is hereby introduced to the English-speaking portion of our church, is a classic in Lutheran Theology. Its author, Dr. Leonard Hutter. Professor at Wittenberg from 1596 until his death in 1616, was the most prominent theologian of his age. As a teacher, the church owes to him a debt of lasting gratitude for the direction which his instructions gave to the mind of Dr. John Gerhard, the most eminent of Lutheran theologians. As a devotional writer, he published an "Epitome of the Bible," and "Meditations on the Cross of Christ." But it was as an ardent supporter, and zealous champion of our faith, that he was especially distinguished. As such, in his Concordia Concors, he defended the Form of Concord against the Concordia Discors of Hospinian; in his Calvinista Aulico-politicus, contended for Christian liberty, in opposition to the edict of the Elector John Sigismund, which prohibited the teaching of certain Lutheran doctrines within the Electorate of Brandenburg; and in quite a number of books, dissertations, and tracts, attacked and refuted Romanism.

Leonhard Hutter's Compend of Lutheran Theology was a standard theological textbook for many years following the Reformation. This volume is a short and comprehensive treatment of Lutheran theology. It is written in a question and answer format, and is an especially helpful work for catechesis. Hutter writes within the scholastic tradition, yet this work is very accessible. He heavily utilizes selections from the Lutheran Confessions, Scripture, and the writings of Luther and Melanchthon. This edition was translated by Henry Eyster Jacobs for use in Lutheran education in America in the nineteenth century. Leonhard Hutter (1563-1616) was a professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg, and was an early proponent of Lutheran orthodoxy.
