Bookstore

The Luther Seminary Bookstore shares its space with Augsburg Fortress, the publishing house of the ELCA, in a unique partnership. Together, they offer their customers a large variety of church-related items.

The mission of the Luther Seminary Bookstore is to promote Christian ministry by making books available at the lowest possible prices to the students, faculty and staff of Luther Seminary as well as to the wider Christian community. Most of the books and Bibles are sold at a discount that ranges from 5% to 30%, with 25% being the most common.

Bookstore Recommends

The Luther Seminary Bookstore recommends "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. This book traces the inspirational story of Minnesota native Greg Mortenson, who committed himself to building a school for the impoverished people of Korphe, a village in Pakistan.

His efforts have grown into the Central Asia Institute, which has built more than 50 schools across rural Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The bookstore recommends Edwin H. Friedman's "A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix," available at a discounted price of $21 at the Bookstore.
