Lutheran Tradition as Heritage and Tool

“Lutheran Tradition as Heritage and Tool provides a comprehensive guide to the contemporary Lutheran theological landscape. It gives an honest representation of the complex tensions that attend to the efforts of being faithful to the tradition, while seeking to be true and relevant to context. I commend this publication as it contributes to the most needed tools to aid the appropriation of the Lutheran tradition towards the commemoration of five hundred years of the Protestant Reformation.”

The Annotated Luther, Volume 1

History & Biography

“This exciting Annotated Luther series from Fortress Press comes out at a very important moment. Lutherans worldwide anticipate the commemoration of five hundred years of the reformation in 2017. I just came from a conference of Asian Lutheran theologians where various Luther reception processes have been established to cater for Sunday school children to seminary professors. In many parts of the global south where the churches are growing, there is growing desire to encounter the reformer in as direct ways as is possible. The Annotated Luther series will facilitate easy access to Luther, especially for those who could not do so in the German or Latin. This will be a great resource likely to be translated into many vernacular languages.”
