Taught by: Dr. Paul Spaulding
Thurs-Fri-Sat from 9 am to 3 pm
Held at: Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd, Torrance, CA

The course will deal with some of those struggles in history and some of the challenges to confessional confidence today. We will also examine how ancient statements of faith carry the message of God’s Word even in our postmodern culture. Within the Lutheran heritage the Book of Concord (1580 A.D.) represents the Lutheran Confessions. Segments of those documents will be examined with an emphasis on wisdom offered to theological discussions that still continue today.
