Three Keys to What Lutherans Believe

By Pastor Steven E. King

This three-session study was written to serve as a basic introduction to themes in Lutheran theology. By focusing on key biblical concepts, it demonstrates the primary themes that Lutherans emphasize in thinking about the Christian faith and the teachings of Scripture. The study may be particularly suited to new member classes, adult baptismal or confirmation instruction, or for use with young adults. For use in shorter sessions, leaders may choose to divide each lesson into two parts to create a six-week study!

Three Key Concepts in Lutheran Faith & Theology:

1)  Christ Alone  (Scripture Texts: Acts 3:1-10 and 4:5-12, Ephesians 2:1-10)

2)  Natural Means  (Scripture Texts: Numbers 21:4-9, Titus 3:3-7)

3)  Both/And  (Scripture Texts: Matthew 22:41-46, Romans 8:1-17)
