Reviews for Common Places in Christian Theology: A Curated Collection of Essays from Lutheran Quarterly

It is time to rethink Lutheran theology, and this book is an excellent guide on this journey. Shaped by Melanchthon's masterpiece Common places , it faces contemporary challenges of theology and society. Contributions by outstanding authors form a treasure of theological insight for dogmatics, preaching and teaching. Volker Leppin Horace Tracy Pitkin Professor for Historical Theology Yale Divinity School The ancient concept of commonplace means both a core issue and what speaker and hearer have in common . Following the Reformation models, the present volume also covers both meanings. Its chapters investigate, articulate and explain Lutheran theology in a manner that allows a communicative exchange of the core issues of Christian faith. Risto Saarinen Professor of Ecumenics University of Helsinki This stellar collection offers up-to-date presentations of most major doctrines by learned, traditional, engaging Lutheran scholars. It deserves careful study by everyone who serves as a teacher of the church and by those who want to know what the Lutherans are saying these days about the main themes conveyed in the Scriptures. Douglas A. Sweeney Dean, Beeson Divinity School Samford University
