The Word Remains is the first English translation of a German book comprised of excerpts from Wilhelm Lohe's extensive writing on mission, pastoral theology, history, and liturgy. Lohe articulates the confessional Lutheran understanding of the church year, the Word of God, and matters related to the Christian life.
Nach Antritt seiner ersten Pfarrstelle in Neuendettelsau 1837 entfaltete Lohe von hier aus sein umfassendes Wirken, das ihn weit uber Deutschland hinaus bekannt werden liess. 1854 grundete er die erste Diakonissenanstalt in Bayern, in deren Nachfolge heute die Diakonie Neuendettelsau steht. Bewusst als Ausbildungsstatte ins Leben gerufen, engagierte sich die Diakonissenanstalt auf dem Gebiet der Behindertenfursorge und -padagogik, im Krankenhauswesen, in der Altenhilfe, der Kleinkinderbetreuung und vor allem in der uber die Elementarschule hinausgehenden Ausbildung junger Madchen und Frauen. Ferner widmete sich Lohe bereits seit Anfang der 1840er Jahre der Betreuung deutscher Auswanderer nach Nordamerika. In diesem Band werden Person und Wirken Wilhelm Lohes aus den Blickwinkeln der Theologie und Diakoniewissenschaft, aber auch der Kultur- und Sozialgeschichte beschrieben.

Johann Konrad Wilhelm Loehe (1808-1872) was one of the pivotal nineteenth century theologians in the struggle to restore a confessional identity to the Lutheran churches of Europe and North America. In an age when the doctrine of the ministry was contended on both sides of the Atlantic, Loehe found himself in a protracted struggle with theologians of the State Churches of Europe and various synods in North America over the nature and work of the pastoral office. As the translator for the 1849 Aphorisms notes in his preface: "Both sets of Aphorisms are not to be seen in isolation, but rather in intimate connection with the "churchly program" that Lohe developed with great energy (yet without ...
The first complete translation of one of Wilhelm Loehe's most important and influential books. Loehe explains the how and why of what a pastor does. The Pastor will help clarify the pastoral practice of the 19th century, but also what it means to apply the means of grace to God's people in the 21st century, in harmony with the church of all ages.
