The Vocation of Lutheran Higher Education

Through rich discussions at the annual Vocation of a Lutheran College Conference and robust debate within the journal Intersections, many now agree that, at best, ELCA colleges and universities principally educate students so that they can discern the material, social, and spiritual needs of others and then respond with committed service and out of a sense of gratitute. In short, the vocation of Lutheran higher education is to educate for vocation.

This is the story of early organized Lutheranism of Norwegian background in America. It is an intriguing account of God's very capable pioneer servants. They founded congregations, built institutions, cared for the needy, instructed their people, sponsored mission work, and engaged their adversaries in controversy. Amazingly, these servant leaders did many things right. Humanly, several mistakes were made. The end result was that, with the grace of God, their work was highly effective.

Engaging Bonhoeffer: The Impact and Influence of Bonhoeffer's Life and Thought

Engaging Bonhoeffer documents the extraordinary impact of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's life and writing on later thought.

In addition to shedding light on the different trajectories that Bonhoeffer's work may forge, Engaging Bonhoeffer offers a critical window through which to view the ideas of many leading theological voices.
