Lutheranism & the Classics
October 1–2, 2010
Integral to the well-being of the church on earth is the contribution of the languages— Hebrew, Greek, Latin—for the preaching of Christ crucified, risen and ascended. Concordia Theological Seminary is pleased, therefore, to offer “Lutheranism and the Classics.” The goal of this conference is to consider how the classical languages have influenced the Lutheran Church in the past and how Greek and Latin are poised to enrich church, academy and culture in both the present and the future.
The conference features three plenary papers, a banquet address and 12 sectional presenters who will deliver shorter papers related to three tracks: Academic, Classical Education and Concordia Tracks (sectional papers will be presented twice). Latin will be used in three worship settings. The presentation by representatives of the John Burroughs School (St. Louis, Missouri) is intended especially for classical educators and homeschoolers. Attendees can expect to leave the conference with an awareness of how important the classical languages are for keeping the Lutheran Church vital in the world and for the propagation of the faith to present and future generations.
