De-coding the Apocalypse: Study of the Book of Revelation
The title of the last book of the Bible is translated as “Revelation,” but its original title was “Apocalypse.” This word literally means “the unveiling.” The purpose of this book of the Bible is to unveil the purposes of God in human history. For many people, however, it remains veiled — an obscure, mysterious and confusing book. The reason many people do not understand the Apocalypse is because it is written in coded language that can only be interpreted by decoding its symbolism. This study will look at the most significant coded symbols of the book and the keys to their interpretation. It will provide a broad sweep of the major themes and message of Revelation as to better understand this book of the Bible. This “unveiling” will enable you to see Christ, His church and history (past, present, and future) in a whole new light.

The Present God: Exploring a Major Biblical Theme
For many Christians, the theological value of the Old Testament is limited to messianic prophecies and the comforting assurances of the Psalms. Such a perspective runs the risk of impoverishing our teaching and preaching by failing to recognize the foundational role of the Old Testament for the Christian faith and the rich variety of ways in which its theology is communicated. In this presentation Dr. David Adams will explore one major theological motif, the presence of God, and show how it shapes the faith of the Old Testament and the fulfillment of that faith in the person and ministry Jesus Christ in the New Testament.

Dr. David Adams
Professor of Exegetical Theology; W.G. Ray and Louis J. Rechtzigel Professor of Biblical Studies, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis
Dr. David Adams joined the faculty of Concordia Seminary in 2000. During the past 20 years, he has brought with him to the classroom wide-ranging interests from philosophy to archaeology. With respect to the latter, he wrote the study notes for the Psalms and Old Testament Wisdom Literature in the ESV Archaeology Study Bible (Crossway, 2018) and was centrally involved in the archaeological dig at Khirbet Qeiyafa from which an inscription was unearthed that provides historical evidence for the existence of King David and the united monarchy in 2007. Of course, he is best known for his work on the Old Testament and has been devoting a much of his time to thinking through a Lutheran theology of the Old Testament with a special focus the presence of God. Adams is one of those people who loves to talk theology at the drop of a hat and does so in a way that enables his conversation partner to start thinking in new ways.

Listening to C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis continues to be one of the most important modern authors among English-speaking Christians. His fiction has delighted children and adults alike, and his nonfiction has encouraged and challenged the Christian as well as the skeptic. This workshop will look at the thought and writings of C.S. Lewis especially as it intersects with themes important for Lutherans — e.g. theology of the cross, faith, science and reason, and the role of beauty for belief and ethics. There is no pre-requisite reading for this workshop, but if one wishes, recommended readings include The Weight of Glory, The Problem of Pain, The Four Loves and Till We Have Faces.

Dr. Erik Herrmann
Professor of Historical Theology; Dean of Theological Research and Publication; Director of the Center for Reformation Research; and Director of Concordia Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis
Dr. Erik Herrmann is emerging as one of the leading Luther scholars in the world as evidenced by an invitation extended to him to give a plenary paper at the International Luther Congress. His academic interests in Luther studies are complemented by an equally strong interest in questions related to Lutheran piety and the devotional writings of the late Middle Ages and Reformation especially as they pertain to pastoral care.
