Classical Lutheranism for the contemporary world

Just & Sinner publishes a variety of books that provide a classical Lutheran perspective on a broad range of theological, philosophical, and cultural topics. Our books cover subjects such as: dogmatics, ethics, church history, Biblical studies, the devotional life, pastoral ministry, Confessions of faith, apologetics, cultural engagement, art, and politics. We publish reprints of older texts—with updated formatting, cover design, and sometimes modernized language—as well as new works of theology for both popular and academic audiences.
