Not a few figures-writers, poets, activists, teachers-have focused
on the presence of the Holy One in the ordinary, on the many
possibilities of worldly spirituality. In this book, pastor,
teacher, and theologian Michael Plekon introduces us to several
persons of faith from both the Western and Eastern Church
traditions to illumine God's presence in everyday living: the world
as sacrament. In this discovery of liturgy and life entwined,
Plekon shows how these lives, and our own lives, are texts about
looking for and following God in everyday existence.

Over the last fifty years, Lutherans and Roman Catholics have
engaged in profound theological dialogue leading to increasingly
close ties between two church bodies that have historically been
divided. From Conflict to Communion contains the report produced by
the Lutheran-Roman Catholic Commission on Unity along with an
accompanying study guide and liturgical material suitable for a
joint Catholic-Lutheran worship service. This book presents the
500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation as an opportunity
for deeper communion between Roman Catholics and Lutherans and for
celebration of their common witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Including a timely new introduction by William G. Rusch, this will
be a valued re-source not only for Lutheran and Catholic
theologians but also for people around the world who seek greater
unity in the church.
Gerhard O. Forde has stood at the forefront of Lutheran thought for
most of his career. This new collection of essays and sermons-many
previously unpublished- makes Forde's powerful theological vision
more widely available. The book aptly captures Forde's deep
Lutheran commitment. Here he argues that the most important task of
theology is to serve the proclamation of the gospel as discerned on
the basis of the doctrine of justification by grace alone through
faith alone. For Forde, the doctrine of justification is not one
topic among other theological topics; rather, it is the criterion
that guides "all theology and ministry. Throughout the book Forde
applies this truth to issues of eschatology, authority, atonement,
and ecumenism. Also included are seven insightful sermons that
model the Lutheran approach to proclamation.
