Have you ever tried to talk to someone about your faith? Read Philip Bartelt review of "Shaman and Sage: The Roots of the 'Spiritual but Not Religious' in Antiquity" by Michael Horton Michael Horton 1517.org/articles/a-rev…

Oswald Bayer receiving his copy of Promissio in English – his own groundbreaking work available to a new audience as Lutheran Quarterly’s thirtieth book in our series.

An interesting irony of the Biermann/Ramirez debate on Christian nationalism is that Biermann appears to think that the fullness of “God’s plan” or “truth” for earthly life is found only in the church – in an amendment to the law found in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles.

“I believe the road to hell is paved with adverbs, and I will shout it from the rooftops.” -Stephen King

In honor of Bayer's Promissio coming into English with LQ Books, we've been gathering photos and quotes to celebrate Bayer's work. Here's one from his visit to Princeton in 2001 with Paul Rorem, editor.

"It is Scripture that interprets its readers, not the other way around." - John Hoyum John Hoyum

Bayer: “I was struck by the fact that Bultmann, like Schleiermacher, only wanted to speak of God in the mirror of the human recipient, while Luther, on the other hand, insists that it is necessary to define the human recipient on the basis of the God who speaks.”

"Moralism and legalism are a distraction from the church’s chief task to proclaim the forgiveness of sins in Christ for all the lost." - John Hoyum John Hoyum
