Current Issue - November

  • "From the President"
    By Rev. Dr. Dean O. Wenthe

    I would invite each of you who receives For the Life of the World to plan a visit to our campus. Such a visit would be educational, enriching and stimulating. The entire seminary community would welcome you to worship with us, to attend class with the seminarians and deaconesses, to enjoy a meal in our beautiful dining hall and to visit the men and women who have devoted their lives to Christ's service.

  • "So, What Is a Vicar?"
    By Professor Richard T. Nuffer

    Vicarage is a year of practical, hands-on training in which seminary students serve as interns under experienced pastors. They do so to "put legs on" all of their academic classroom training. And they begin to learn how to bring Christ to people who are hurting in a great variety of ways and to those who do not believe.

  • " Forming Servant Pastors"
    By Professor Larry S. Harvala

    The important things are that the faithful are faithfully taught, the lost are vigorously reached, and all are cared for by the Word and Sacraments with which Christ has marked His beloved Bride.

  • "A Grace-filled "Inoculation" for Healthy Ministry"
    By Kim Plummer Krull

    In 1999, Dr. John Eckrich, a physician and lifelong Lutheran, founded Grace Place Lutheran Retreats. After years of treating church workers and seeing how their vocational challenges led to health problems and a pulpit exodus, he started Grace Place to help clergy who "were burning themselves out while they cared for others but did not take care of themselves."

  • "Extending His Hands of Mercy"
    By Dr. Cynthia E. Lumley

    New Distance Learning Deaconess Program Launched at Concordia Theological Seminary

  • "Chapel Wall Restoration Prelude to Library Expansion By Rev. Prof."
    By Robert V. Roethemeyer

    Plinth. Noun. In architecture, the base or platform upon which a column, pedestal, statue, monument or structure rests. Tall stone plinths are often used to add monumentality to sacred buildings.

  • "Profile in Giving"
    By Rev. Robert F. Shonholz

    "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you." (Luke 6:38)
