C. F. W. Walther, a founding father of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and its leading theologian in the first generation, had much to say about the topics of his day; but does he have anything to say to people today? This course seeks to answer this question by looking at Walther’s ideas regarding topics that are still of interest in the contemporary church. These include topics like: “What does it mean to be a Lutheran” “Does Church fellowship still matter?” “How should church and government interact?” and “How does predestination affect the preaching of the Gospel—if it does at all?” (1.5 CEU)
