Quest Course, Concordia Lutheran Seminary, October 2017 Rev. John A. Maxfield, PhD

Martin Luther’s Road to Reformation, 1483-1521 

What better way to celebrate the “Reformation 500” anniversary than to learn about the man who started it all? In this course we will examine Martin Luther’s life and the development of his theology from his birth in 1483 to the controversy that developed thirty-five years later after his posting of the Ninety-Five Theses on Indulgences on October 31, 1517 and that initiated the Reformation.

Wed. Oct. 18: Luther’s “Reformation Discovery” of Justification by Faith—Early Developments
                                    and His Reflections as an Old Man
                        A Theologian of the Cross and the Beginnings of Reform

Dr. John A. Maxfield is an ordained pastor of Lutheran Church – Canada and serves as Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Concordia University of Edmonton. He teaches History of Christianity, Theology, and European History, specializing and publishing in the areas of the German Reformation and Luther Studies.

First Annual Research Forum

By Anonymous -
On September 11 CLS promoted its first Annual Research Forum. Faculty and a guest presenter discussed the Theological research they completed in the past year. A graduate school's vocation - as it is for any university - is carried out on a triangular basis, with each point supporting and sustaining the others: · Teaching (in the sense of formal education) · Research · Extension As an academic place, our school is also a place, then, where knowledge is revisited, built and shared in formal and informal education. Our seminary supports each professor's research by allocating time and means for formal research. Each year, research projects are received and approved; completed projects are shared with the larger community; and final results of each project are evaluated for publication in various ways: either as research articles in specialized journals, or as a doctoral thesis, or as a book. The inaugural forum’s guest presenter was Rev. Mark Sander, pastor in Mannsville,
