New issue of Lutheran Theological Review

CANADA – The 2024 volume of Lutheran Theological Review (LTR) has now been released, and is available to read for free online.

“This new volume of LTR has coalesced around historical themes,” Rev. Dr. Thomas Winger notes in a foreword. “This did not happen by design,” he continues, “but the working theologians of [Lutheran Church–Canada] have independently turned to history to resource the Church to answer the pressing questions of this hour.”

The theme is introduced through an essay by Rev. Dr. John R. Stephenson entitled “The Value of History.” Rev. Dr. Joel D. Heck of Concordia Lutheran Seminary (Edmonton) writes on “The Genesis Genealogies.” Rev. Dr. William F. Mundt contributes an essay entitled “Just Us, Just Jesus: Racially Specific Christianity in Germany, 1933-48,” while Rev. Dr. Thomas Korcok writes on “Weaponizing  the Word: A Lutheran Look at Christian Nationalism.” Rev. John P. Hellwege, Jr., meanwhile, writes on “What Are They Thinking and How Do We Respond? Understanding the Mind and Values of the Woke and Speaking to Those Affected by This Movement.”

Rev. Dr. Richard Beinert contributes a review of Stephen M. Saunders’ book Martin Luther on Mental Health: Practical Advice for Christians Today. The volume ends with Rev. Dr. Winger’s sermon from the 2024 Call Service of Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary.

Lutheran Theological Review is jointly produced by Lutheran Church–Canada’s two seminaries: Concordia Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton and Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary in St. Catharines, Ontario. You can read the new volume of LTR and previous volumes online for free at www.concordia-seminary.ca/ltr.
