Law & Gospel in Action

Description

The collected essays engage the reality of believers’ death and resurrection in Christ, and how that bears upon the life of faith while also attending to a wide range of relevant theological topics. The collection concludes with several sermons based on Old Testament lessons seeking to show how the theology embedded in the essays can be used for proclamation.I would recommend Law and Gospel in Action as ideal for the engaged layperson, or pastor who wants to stay sharp and tuned into broader discourse than we often confront in daily parish life. – Pastor Kevin McClainMark Mattes serves as Professor of Theology and Philosophy at Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa, and previously served parishes in Gardner, Illinois, and Antigo, Wisconsin.  He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, and an M.Div from Luther Seminary.  Mattes has authored Martin Luther’s Theology of Beauty:  A Reappraisal and The Role of Justification in Contemporary Theology, and has co-authored Imaging the Journey, co-translated Theology the Lutheran Way by Oswald Bayer, co-edited the collected papers of Gerhard Forde, A More Radical Gospel and The Preached God, and is an  Associate Editor for Lutheran Quarterly.
