dc.description.abstractOtto Willkomm’s biography of George Stoeckhardt (1842–1913), translated by Thomas R. Ehnert, presents a rich portrait of the influential German-American Lutheran theologian. Tracing Stoeckhardt’s ancestry, education, and ministry, the work highlights his deep commitment to Scripture, pastoral care (Seelsorge), and doctrinal clarity. After leaving the Saxon State Church over issues of church discipline, Stoeckhardt joined the Missouri Synod and became a beloved professor at Concordia Seminary, shaping generations of pastors through his exegetical teaching and writings. The biography explores his theological method, his role in the Election Controversy, and his emphasis on preserving pure doctrine. It also reflects on his personal humility, friendships, and enduring legacy. The final chapters recount his death and burial, with tributes from colleagues and church leaders. Willkomm’s work stands as a heartfelt tribute to a man whose life was marked by faithfulness to God’s Word and tireless service to Christ’s Church. —Abstract generated by Microsoft Copilot (GPT-4)
