Publisher's Description
Presented on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, this collection of essays honors the life and work of Dr. Timothy J. Wengert. Wengert, a pastor, a teacher of pastors, and a noted Reformation historian, brings to the work of scholarship a deep sense of its practical dimensions in the life of the church. Over the course of his career, Wengert's work and insights have been marked by the way in which they apply to and make different the lived life of the church, whether in preaching, worship, or theology. In these essays, Wengert's students, colleagues, and peers follow in their honoree's footsteps by highlighting the practical and pastoral implications of a rich tapestry of Reformation topics organized into three parts. In Part One, Luther and a diverse cast of colleagues are considered in light of their significance for today. In Part Two, the texts of the Reformation are examined, opening to Part Three, where the formation of faith through catechesis and the life of the church bring the book to a close.

“This fine collection, edited by Illić and Lohrmann, skillfully reflects and honors Wengert's commitment to an ecumenically grounded reformation scholarship anchored by heart of a pastor, centred on the preaching and teaching of the Gospel. An excellent resource!”
“Here we find far more than a Festschrift as it presents us the latest and finest in Reformation research. And yet it certainly is a true Festschrift as it honors Timothy Wengert with just the same meticulous source work as he himself is famous for. This collection of essays is a lasting gift to the field of sixteenth century studies.”
“This is a superb volume of essays by a distinguished and international group of scholars. Its incisive and varied contributions stand as a testament to the breadth and impact of Wengert's scholarship.”
