An Image Of Luther For Today: The Catechetical Luther, Mary Jane Haemig
An Image Of Luther For Today: The Catechetical Luther, Mary Jane Haemig
Faculty Publications
Lutherans and other Protestants live with Martin Luther as a part of their heritage. Images of him are unavoidable. The image of Luther as catechist offers example and spur. His tireless efforts to teach the Christian faith to all people, not just the academic and learned, should guide us today. The message embodied in his catechisms offers to us purpose, reconciliation, consolation, and hope.
Leo The Great On The Supremacy Of The Bishop Of Rome, Denis Kaiser
Leo The Great On The Supremacy Of The Bishop Of Rome, Denis Kaiser
Faculty Publications
Pope Leo the Great built his rationale for the supreme authority of the bishop of Rome on an existing tradition, yet with his additions he developed a theoretical rationale for later papal claims to absolute and supreme power in the ecclesiastical and secular realms. Previous bishops and church leaders had laid increasing stress on the unique role of the Apostle Peter as the founder of the Roman churches and episcopacy, the significance of the Roman bishop as Peter’s successor, and the apostolic significance of the city and episcopacy of Rome. Yet Leo’s rationale for the absolute control and power of …
Praying The Psalms, Kathryn M. Schifferdecker
Praying The Psalms, Kathryn M. Schifferdecker
Faculty Publications
The Psalms teach us how to pray. When we pray the Psalms, we follow in the footsteps of a long line of Christians and Jews who have used the Psalter as a guide to prayer. We learn from those saints to bring all of ourselves to God in prayer: our sorrows, our laments, and our anger as well as our joys and praise.

Graspable God, Steven D. Paulson
Graspable God, Steven D. Paulson
Faculty Publications
Baptism is God graspable. It is the same thing for us that wrapping Jesus in swaddling clothes was for Mary. It is God hiding in a place where he can be pure promise, leading us through death right into the arms of the resurrected Lord.
A Communion That Is Holy: A Gospel Economy, Dirk G. Lange
A Communion That Is Holy: A Gospel Economy, Dirk G. Lange
Faculty Publications
The sacrament of Holy Communion trains us in a gospel economy. Receiving from God, we are taught to give. Freed from an obsessive attraction to temporal things, but also from a pious repulsion of them, we are drawn into a holy communion with God, neighbor, and material goods.
For All What Saints? Preaching All Saints Day, Mark A. Granquist
For All What Saints? Preaching All Saints Day, Mark A. Granquist
Faculty Publications
American culture has either trivialized All Saints Eve into a time of free candy or idealized All Saints Day as a festival of the unachievable. The texts are more real than that—and so is sainthood.

Twenty Centuries Of Living Hymns, Lilianne Douhkan
Twenty Centuries Of Living Hymns, Lilianne Douhkan
Faculty Publications
"The following is a distillation of a spoken presentation by the author, assisted by the Andrews University choirs, given as the opening event of Faith Ablaze! Hymns of Heart and Heritage, a hymn festival held at Andrews University in November, 1999.1 It is a journey through time, starting with the beginnings of the church and continuing to the present, one in which we hope you, the reader, like those present that evening, can come to a better understanding of how our hymns came about, and what they meant to those who preceded us. Given the constraints in time that evening …
Historical Perspectives On Change In Worship Music, Lilianne Douhkan
Historical Perspectives On Change In Worship Music, Lilianne Douhkan
Faculty Publications
"Periodically through history, the church has been confronted with the problem of the introduction of new elements into an existing tradition. In the context of congregational singing, this issue centered on the infiltration of secular elements. The purpose of this study is to present such situations, to show how people dealt with change in their time, and to draw lessons from it for today."
