Looking for a nice juicy piece of thick theological steak to sink your teeth into (or eggplant for you vegetarians)? Here it is, a new blog by the Rev. Dr. Benjamin Mayes titled Lutheran Orthodoxy.
Dr. Mayes, Managing Editor of the Luther’s Works series over at Concordia Publishing House, is serving up a slice of theology on his new blog, which is subtitled “Translations, summaries, and conversations of the great writings of Lutheran Orthodoxy (1580–1700).” Also joining him as a contributor is Mr. Matthew Carver, author of the Hymnoglypt blog, and translator of Valerius Herberger's devotional commentary on Genesis, "The Great Works of God" (CPH).
Their initial posts have covered Johann Gerhard, Valerius Herberger, and the 1671 anthology the Treasury of Counsels and Decisions, which was edited by Georg Dedekenn and Johann Ernst Gerhard. If you’re like me and feeling that your hard drive could use a little more data on the Age of Orthodoxy, this looks like a promising place to start your download.

I'm happy to have other contributors on this blog, including Mr. Matthew Carver (Hymnoglypt blog), who is the translator of Valerius Herberger's devotional commentary on Genesis, "The Great Works of God" (CPH). I'm gather other contributors, in addition.
