\n\t\tBook Reviews Published in 2023\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t

Under the leadership of book review editors Mary Jane Haemig and Suzanne Hequet, Lutheran Quarterly published 87 reviews and one review essay in volume 37 (2023).

\n2023 saw continued strength in numbers of reviews received, edited, and awaiting publication. 45 reviews have been edited and await publication as of January 1, 2024. As of the same date, 43 reviews have been assigned and not yet submitted.

\nWe appreciate staff and board willingness to review books. We also appreciate suggestions of books and reviewers. While continuing our focus on Lutheran history and theology we also seek books that are relevant to, but not obviously a part of, those emphases. We seek a wide variety of reviewers from different Lutheran groups, institutions, countries, and perspectives as well as reviewers outside the Lutheran orbit.

\nThe list below gives the author and title of each book reviewed. The reviewer\u2019s name appears in parentheses, followed by the volume\/number of publication.\n<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
