Great Stuff — Forty Articles that Shaped LOGIA

Found on The Blog of LOGIA: A Journal of Lutheran Theology, a post by Pastor Martin Noland:

 

“These are a few of my favorite things . . .” (Rogers and Hammerstein, from The Sound of Music).   That’s one of a few of my favorite songs from the 1960s.  When it comes to LOGIA, I have great difficulty pruning the list of “favorite articles” down to a few.  It sounds too much like “Gospel reductionism” for my taste.  The editors have indulged me, so here, for what it is worth, is my personal list of forty articles published by LOGIA that made the journal what it is today, just in time for LOGIA’s 20th Anniversary CD, available for pre-order here.  They are listed in consecutive order.
