Ever to Emmaus: A Theological Memoir - Hardcover
About this item
by A. A. Jr. Just (Author), William C. Weinrich (Foreword by)
Ever to Emmaus describes the theological journey of a Lutheran pastor and professor who was shaped by his doctoral work on the Emmaus story from Luke 24. It is a theological memoir that narrates how his theology has deepened in both his exegetical work on the Gospels and Paul, and in his teaching and writing about liturgy, preaching, catechesis, diakonia, and the reading of literature. The story of the road to Emmaus is the lens through which he interprets both Scripture and the church. This is also evident in how his work in global theological education was shaped by Jesus' teaching on the road and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. Emmaus not only gives us Word and Meal as the structures of the liturgy, but they are also the means for mission.
