He was not writing a "seond bible" or even a companion to the bible, but more of a "ok, so I read the thing, what does it all mean?".

Fantastic guess.
I don't recall ever attended a regular LCMS service (I know I've gone to weddings but those are always a little different) and I think ELCA is like Catholic-Lite.
They are VERY into sola scriptura. They also think the Catholic church is a cult and the Pope is the antiChrist, so you know, not quite so mainstream as your kind of Lutheran.
