74 LUTHERAN THEOLOGICAL REVIEW IX as one who distinguished within Scripture between that which is God’s Word and that which is not God’s Word. Glen E. Zweck is Tutor of Westfield House, Cambridge, the Theological College of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England.
LTR IX (Academic Year 1996-97) 75-83 REVIEW ARTICLE: Hermann Sasse: A Man for Our Times Edited by John R. Stephenson and Thomas M. Winger (St. Louis, MO: Concordia Academic Press, 1998) 271 pp. 1 Roger D. Pittelko The new volume on the life and theology of Hermann Sasse, edited by John R. Stephenson and Thomas M. Winger, is a compilation of the papers presented at the Sasse Symposium held from 30 October to 1 November 1995 under the auspices of Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Drs Stephenson and Winger have done the church a great service by editing and publishing these important papers on the work of Hermann Sasse. Scholars from the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe participated in the symposium. Papers were prepared and delivered by Ronald R. Feuerhahn, Lowell C. Green, John R. Wilch, John W. Kleinig, Thomas M. Winger, Tom G. A. Hardt, Kurt E. Marquart, Gottfried Martens, John R. Stephenson, Norman E. Nagel, and Edwin Lehman. The symposium attempted to answer the question posed by the title of this volume. Is Sasse “a man for our times” or just an interesting theological figure noted for his provocative “letters to Lutheran pastors” Do his life and theological work have any significance and relevance for life in the church today It is clear that this volume of symposium papers answers the question in the affirmative. Sasse’s theological insights and concerns specifically address many situations that are still current and relevant. Dr Ronald Feuerhahn’s paper (11-36) sets the tone for the remainder of the book by concentrating on the theology of Hermann Sasse. Feuerhahn views Sasse as a churchman. He both taught about the church and taught the church. He was a pastor and scholar who spoke to the church from both viewpoints. As a scholar he did not devise a new theological system. He understood that he was a follower in a long train of followers enunciating and teaching the orthodox Christian faith. He wanted simply and profoundly to make the confession of the fathers and to encourage those who followed him to make the same confession. His gift was not to draw us to himself or to his theology, but rather to draw us to the theology of the church and the church’s confession. Sasse believed and taught that theology really counts and that history is beneficial and necessary in understanding our theology. 1 Available for US $24.99 from Concordia Publishing House.
