The Classic Confessional Lutheran Dogmatics
This 4-volume set has been the standard in the more confessional Lutheran churches for decades.

Pieper thoroughly covers the doctrines of Scripture. He not only supports the doctrines well from the Word, but he also gives varying views (mostly from the Reformed and Roman Catholic way of thinking). This is a good help in finding out what other church bodies teach on a given topic.

Another good Dogmatics text that is in the process of being translated and will come out soon is Hoenecke's Dogmatics. Actually Vol. IV is already out.

Timeless classic on Christian Faith and Teaching
Professor Francis Pieper, Lutheran theologian, has done Christianity as a whole and Lutheranism in particular a great service with his volumes, collectively entitled "Christian Dogmatics." These volumes have served pastors, students, and professors of confessional Lutheranism well over the decades. Its clear and concise wording help to explain the many mysteries of the Bible. They are easy to read even for the average layperson; they are especially helpful for anyone who seeks to learn more about Christian teaching and faith or to prepare to defend Christian doctrine. Though written several generations ago, the volumes seem to still speak with a relevant voice to people poised on the brink of the 21st. century. Amazon.com's price makes it a bargain and a must buy/must read. Buy each volume! You won't regret it!
