Luther and Lutheranism
When Dr. Timothy F. Lull was president of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary he made the point every year of teaching an introductory course entitled "Luther and Lutheranism." This course, required for nearly every student at PLTS, was always extremely popular. This book, which contains the collection of handouts that Dr. Lull prepared for his lectures, was produced by the PLTS Class of 2005 after his death so that future generations might encounter Martin Luther and the Lutheran heritage that Dr. Lull loved so much.

Five Types of Lutheran Confessional Theology
This book briefly examines the history of the understanding and use of the Lutheran Confessions as they have made their way into the Lutheran Churches in America and then outlines a tool called “the confessional spectrum” in which the various confessional methods are placed in relation to one another. On the confessional spectrum five “types” or “models” for Lutheran confessional theology are laid out through examination of the theological writings of five theologians: David Preus, James Nestingen, David Truemper, The Finnish Luther Scholars, and Marcus Borg—as well as the further investigation of one of the types through the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Lutheran Salzburgers and Muslim African Moors
With special attention to Lutheran Christians immigrants to America, Michael D. Gutzler, argues that Lutherans have been interacting with Muslims in North America as early as the 1730's. Paralleling the story of the Salzburger Lutherans who were exiled from their Catholic homeland with Islamic sub-Saharan Africa Muslims taken as slaves during the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the two groups come together in the English colony of Georgia. With special attention to the Islamic influence in five separate sections of West Africa and the English trans-Atlantic slave trade, evidence of first-hand accounts of Lutheran-Muslims interaction was recorded in the daily journal of the Salzburger's pastors John Martin Boltzius (left) and Israel Christian Gronau. Gutzler shows the presence of Muslims in the area around the Salzburger community and evaluates these journal entries to reveal a differentiation made by the pastors between non-Muslim and Muslim African slaves.

Towards a Lutheran Feminist Soteriology
The Lutheran soteriology of Martin Luther and the feminist soteriology of Elizabeth A. Johnson speak to the specific groups for which they were written. This book addresses how a Lutheran woman can approach soteriology and in the end find that holding together the two approaches forms a more complete doctrine of the saving work of Christ.

Stand Boldly
Stand Boldly: Lutheran Theology Faces the Postmodern World-- In a conversation at the Graduate Theological Union one afternoon, Ted Peters wondered aloud where the next generation of American Lutheran theologians might be found. When one surveys the “greats” of the late 20th Century—Carl Braaten, Robert Jenson, Jaroslav Pelikan, George Lindbeck, Martin Marty, Ted Peters, Tim Lull, Gerhard Forde, Timothy Wengert, Arthur Carl Piepkorn, (add your own favorite white male theologian here)—one does get the sense that this generation of American Lutheran theologians cannot last forever. Several of this generation have passed away, and retirement looms for the rest. Who will rise to take the lead of our church’s theology as we enter full force into the 21st Century? This volume, and the “Emerging Voices” series in which this is the first installment, begins to answer that question.
