On November 4, 2019, Dan Paavola (Theology Faculty) discussed with Center Faculty, the three themes from his recent book “Grace, Faith, Scripture: Portrait of a Lutheran” (2019).
About his book: Grace, faith, and Scripture. These three solas, or “alones”, have long been used to characterize the unique theology of the Lutheran faith. The solas set up a relationship between God and us and between us and our neighbor.
Using stories and situations drawn from common relationships such as friendships and marriage, Daniel Paavola uses the three solas to deepen our understanding of Lutheran doctrine. The solas don’t encompass every single aspect of Lutheranism, but through them, we can get a picture of what it means to be a Lutheran.
This was a great program. Thank you for providing it online on Blackboard for those who could not attend live. The content is excellent and can be sprinkled nicely into class discussions on Christian leadership in the Ethics and Organizational Leadership class I teach. I’m looking forward to reading the book as well.
