The Lutheran Handbook

New from Augsburg Fortress - "The Lutheran Handbook"! Jonathan Rundman, a favorite musician of mine, contributed several entries to the Handbook, and describes it in his newsletter as "a comedy/theology manual written in the droll, retro style of the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Guide."

According to Augsburg Fortress:

The essential field guide for all things Lutheran. Confirmands — or anyone hiking the trails of life's adventures and challenges — will want to pack this handy illustrated field guide to Lutheran theology and culture. This enjoyable, easy-to-read, reliable, all-in-one collection helps you understand the essential information about our theology, culture and Lutheran way of life. Organized by Church Stuff, Everyday Stuff and Bible Stuff with how-to's like 'How to Forgive Someone' and lists like 'The Top-10 Bible Villains.' Encapsulates essential principles of the Christian life, making many of the complexities of our religious tradition accessible for contemporary seekers.
