Description
The essays in this volume reflect the breadth and depth of Lutheran theologian and pastor Andrew Pfeiffer, in whose honour they have been written. As a lecturer, missiologist, pastor and church leader Dr Pfeiffer has given wise and faithful service to the church over many decades.
Featuring Confessional Lutheran theologians, pastors and leaders from Australia, the USA, Asia and Russia, this Festschrift addresses key questions for Confessional Lutheranism in the 21st century around the globe. What is the place of pastors and parishes in the church? How does the Word of God practically shape the church amid challenges? And how is the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be enacted in cross-cultural contexts?
With articles by Matthew Harrison, John Kleinig, Arthur Just, John Pless, Greg Lockwood, Stephen Pietsch, and many more, this volume looks forward to how the Good Shepherd continues to provide for his flock.
