Concordia Seminary, St. Louis [1] will honor faculty members who have recently written or contributed to published books at its annual faculty author reception May 16 co-hosted by Concordia Publishing House [2].
“The first two decades of this century may be well remembered as the halcyon days for faculty publishing at Concordia Seminary, and this year is no different,” said Dr. Charles Arand [3], the Seminary’s dean of Theological Research and Publication and the Eugene E. and Nell S.
