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.

The bookstore stocks a wide range of books relating to the theology and mission of the Christian church. In addition to textbooks, theological books, and books in related fields such as history, philosophy, and psychology, the bookstore stocks children's books, school supplies, and some gift items including seminary logo shirts and mugs.

Augsburg Fortress, funded solely through sales revenue, is called to provide products and services that communicate the Gospel, enhance faith, and enrich the life of the Church from a Lutheran perspective. In this partnership, Augsburg Fortress offers education resources, worship and music resources, ELCA periodicals and resources, vestments, ecclesiastical arts resources, cassettes, CDs, and gifts.

Seminarian discounts apply to all clergy shirts and blouses, albs, stoles, and selected personal use textbooks and curriculum. There is web access through our computer located in the store. Students may access course textbook lists through the website and may purchase textbooks online with a Visa, MasterCard or Discover charge card.

A gift registry form is available for all customers. Any product in the store can be listed for occasions such as ordination, graduation, Christmas, and weddings. The bookstore is located on the lower level of the Olson Campus Center.
