Title: Theologi Consummati: Dissertationum Philologico-Theologicarum. Accedunt Orationes
Author: Frid. Adolphi Lampe - Friedrich Adolph Lampe was a German Pietist pastor, theologian and professor of dogmatics. He was a Cocceian, and follower of Johannes d'Outrein. He is known as the first Pietist leader from a Calvinist rather than Lutheran background.

Lampe was especially influenced by pietism and saw inner life development as very important, and he was also a strong believer in the divinity of the church. His most prominent work was "Geheimniß des Gnadenbunds...", published in six volumes from 1712. In 1726 he published Synopsis historiae sacrae. He also published a number of catechisms; among them were Milch der Wahrheit, nach Anleitung des Heidelberge Katechismus (1718), Einleitung zu dem Geheimnis des Gnadenbundes, and Delineatio theologae activae, considered to be the "first system of ethics derived from federal theology".

Condition / Notes: This antique volume shows nicely with some typical indications of age and wear, including shelfwear and light soiling. The front hinge is slightly cracked, however the binding and text block remain firm. The text is clear and crisp through very mild age toning. The front pastedown bears the bookplate of Henry James Grasett, Canadian army and militia officer and Toronto police chief, who is the longest-serving police chief in the history of the Toronto Police, having served for 34 years from 1886 to 1920 as Chief Constable. A plate from the Wycliffe College Library in Toronto is affixed to the endpaper flyleaf which also bears a price sticker. The pastedown endpapers show mild tears.
