As a Lutheran educator, your vocation is an exhilarating mix of steady theology and shifting cultural trends. Talk about an age-old challenge! Each new generation of Lutheran educators creatively confronts the collision of God s Word with a changing world. This is by no means an easy task, but it matters to the Church eternally.

And so it s with humility and a teachable spirit that educators like you often tap into the wisdom of teachers past and present. From sixteenth-century reformers to colleagues across the hall, fellow sojourners fuel, inform, and shape your passion for top-notch Lutheran education.

That s why The Pedagogy of Faith: Essays on Lutheran Education offers a one-of-a-kind gift to our teaching community in the twenty-first century. Never before has there been a more diverse collection of authors and topics distilled into a single text on Lutheran education. The authors theologians, professors, DCEs, school staff, missionaries, parents, and more collectively represent hundreds of years in the educational arena.

This book is not a blueprint but rather a starting point for your own thoughts, prayers, and reflections. Since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses . . . let us run with endurance the race that is set before us (Hebrews 12:1 ESV).
