Henry Eyster Jacobs was one of the clearest and best teachers American Lutheranism has produced. The Summary has been beloved by Christians for its easy to use question and answer format and is coverage of all the essentials of the Christian faith.

He includes two essays on the subject of election and predestination. The second, Luther on Speculations Concerning Predestination, is particularly useful.
