We Preach Christ Crucified: Sermons by Gerhard O. Forde

Gerhard O. Forde stressed the importance of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. In an article in the Lutheran Quarterly, he wrote: "Let us be . . . radical preachers and practitioners of the gospel by justification by faith without the deeds of the law. . . . What is at stake is the radical gospel, radical grace, the eschatological nature of the gospel of Jesus Christ crucified and risen." His sermons reflect that reality.

In short, the vocation of Lutheran higher education is to educate for vocation.
