108. Book Blurbs Kent Burreson and Rhoda Schuler, Journey to Jesus: Faith Formation into Christ and Community
No full textThe discussion features Dr. Kevin Golden and Dr. Kent Burreson, who introduces his new co-authored book, “Journey to Jesus”, which examines the contemporary practice of the **catechumenate** in Lutheran congregations. The catechumenate is distinguished from typical 8-to-10-week adult instruction classes by being a much longer, more robust process aimed at the comprehensive **formation** of lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ, going beyond simple doctrinal downloading . The research, supported by grants, studied four congregations (LCMS and ELCA) that utilize this non-widespread practice, focusing specifically on adults entering the faith. Dr. Burreson notes that these programs, often introduced by pastors seeking deeper formation for baptismal life, demonstrated impressive retention rates, typically 90% plus, far exceeding standard approaches . Other significant takeaways include the fostering of close personal connections among the catechumens and the cultivation of a **missional mindset** throughout the entire congregation, where members naturally invest in the process and invite others to join .https://scholar.csl.edu/cjc/1108/thumbnail.jp

The Weimar Bible: The Study Bible of the Age of Lutheran Orthodoxy
No full textThe Weimar Bible was first published in 1640. Built upon Luther’s German Bible, the Weimer Bible featured work by Johann Gerhard and his student Salomon Glassius. It served as a compendium of orthodox Lutheran exegesis for layman and clergy alike for over two and a half centuries. The work was highly regarded by C.F.W. Walther, who wrote a preface to the edition published by Concordia Publishing House. This presentation provides a brief overview of the history of the Weimar Bible and its features. It focuses especially on the preface of Salomon Glassius, which lays out how to interpret the Scriptures. The presentation will also sample the Weimar Bible’s interpretation of a chapter of Scripture
The Christology of the Seven Ecumenical Councils

Magnify Christ’s Honor: The Nicene Logic of Justification by Faith
No full textThe Lutheran Confessions insist that the doctrine of justification is the teaching on which the church stands or falls. However, the Nicene Creed’s confession that Jesus is of one substance with the Father is the ground of all Christian orthodoxy. Are Lutheran claims about justification exaggerated, or worse yet an innovation? This presentation will argue that the Lutheran doctrine of justification is consistent with the Nicene confession. This argument agrees with the recent scholarship that contends that the meaning of Trinitarian doctrine is found in the systematic reorganization of the Christian faith around the absolute primacy of Christ. The doctrine of justification by faith advanced by the Lutheran Confessions does exactly this. The doctrine leads us to magnify Christ’s honor by placing our trust in Him above all things. This presentation will argue that trust is a crucial element in confessing Jesus’ divinity, and it will draw some conclusions for our preaching and teaching
