“Dictionary of Luther and the Lutheran Traditions” is now available and features Luther Seminary professors Mark A. Granquist and Mary Jane Haemig among the editors. This volume is an indispensable resource for pastors, students and scholars of all types.
“Dictionary of Luther and the Lutheran Traditions” is an innovative reference work that features almost six hundred articles by leading theologians and church historians. These articles cover Luther’s life, his work and the movements that grew out of the Reformation. Entries on history and theology are richly represented in the dictionary. This includes a look at the global Lutheran movement, denominations and congregational practices.
Mark S. Hanson says, “Can a dictionary be both informative and inspiring? ‘Dictionary of Luther and the Lutheran Traditions’ certainly is. The contributing scholars have given us a remarkably informative volume that explains theological doctrines, explores controversies, and describes Lutherans engaged in varied historical, global and ecumenical contexts. The volume serves as an inspirational reminder that Lutherans continue to be a worldwide, five-hundred-year-old reforming movement within the church catholic, for the sake of the gospel.”
