Promising Faith for a Ruptured Age
We can admit that even academically-minded Lutherans can have wide gaps in the Lutheran theologians they’ve studied. We could probably demonstrate that pretty easily with a timeline. Luther’s time? Check. Walther’s time? Check. Other times? Well . . . not so much. Yet, thanks be to God that there have been faithful theologians and pastors in every age. (Right?!) And along the lines of learning about additional Lutheran theologians, I’m pleased to announce an “English-Speaking Appreciation of [the contemporary theologian] Oswald Bayer,” titled Promising Faith for a Ruptured Age.

Without Dreams . . .
Lutheran author and artist Ray Spitzenberger commented on his Facebook the other day about seeing a message on Facebook: “Without dreams we reach nothing.” He applied it to himself, as he continues to write and pursue his passions, so let’s go ahead and apply it to ourselves, too. 🙂 We’ll find we’re in good company with him.

Aaaaaaaaaand . . .
The twins both got sick yesterday. A double-whammy of four-year old tummy problems. But you know what? The day wasn’t entirely lost. Even days such as those have their blessings and high points.

Lutheran Christmas Books
I know, I know. It isn’t Christmas yet. But that’s sort of the point. I’d like to remind you about Lutheran Christmas (and Advent) books, but I’d prefer not to do it a) during Advent, or b) when shipping time might be a factor. So look these over now when even media mail should get ’em to you in time for Advent & Christmas reading. 🙂 And, while you think about it, let me know about titles I’ve missed.

Conference Rehash
Time for a little conference rehash! I am happy to report that I attended two very good conferences at Concordia Theological Seminary this past week: the Good Shepherd Institute, which focuses on pastoral care and sacred music, with its theme of “A Living Tradition and Something New,” and a Symposium for Hymn Writers and Translators with the theme, “Teach Us Jesus Christ to Know Aright.”
