In conjunction with this year’s 500th anniversary of the Reformation, Concordia Publishing House plans to release on March 28 Lutheranism 101 — All About Jesus, by the Rev. Paul T. McCain, publisher and executive director of Editorial for CPH.
The new book is divided into three parts that address “Why is Christianity all about Jesus?,” “Who is that God-man?” and What Jesus does for you, then and now.”
Graphic symbols used throughout the 204-page book alert readers to quotes from Martin Luther, the Bible and the Lutheran Confessions as well as “connections” between theology, faith and life; definitions of terms and phrases; and “big theological concepts” presented in “bite-size pieces.”
Included are study and discussion questions — and answers. A free Leader Guide for this latest edition as well as former ones may be downloaded from lutheranism101.com.
“All About Jesus is a book jam-packed with the truth of God’s Word and the beautiful, forgiving, liberating joy of the Good News of JESUS. Truly, it is a book that is ‘all about Jesus,’ ” said McCain. “I’m really pleased to think we are offering the Church a ‘lay Christology,’ of sorts, and in a way that has a positive, winsome, even in places, fun tone about it.”
To order Lutheranism 101 — All About Jesus (item no. 124397WEB), contact CPH at 800-325-3040 or cph.org (or click on the book’s title above).
