Word of Life: Introducing Lutheran Hermeneutics

Timothy J. Wengert explores the genesis of Lutheran biblical interpretation by tracing the early work and methods of Martin Luther and other Wittenberg exegetes.

Wengert then demonstrates how these approaches can used in preaching and teaching today.
