After a journey of years through a variety of religious experiences and
frustrations with mysticism and eastern religions, liberal theology and
social justice programs, and several branches of Christianity, the author
found answers with “the first evangelicals [Lutherans].” He discovered that

in the flesh and God on the cross” and why this matters in everyday life.

upon 20 years of pastoral experience, the author addresses central doctrines
such as sin and grace, Law and Gospel, the person and work of Jesus Christ,
and more. But through it all, the focus remains on Jesus Christ – who is
“always and only at the center of all Christian teaching.”
