Wengert. Wengert\u2019s career as professor, pastor, and servant of the church has been so productive that  to attempt to summarize his contributions here would leave no room for discussion of the book. Happily, Paul Rorem provides an introduction to  Wengert\u2019s career (1\u20132), as well as a bibliography of Wengert\u2019s scholarly contributions (253\u201362) that will benefit scholars, teachers, and students. In  between, the reader is treated to a collection that, like Dr. Wengert, speaks to both academy and church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lutheranquarterly.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/EVENER_LUT_37-3_BookReviews_335-372.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/strong> to read the full review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Featuring studies that address the life of the church and the proclamation of the gospel today, this is a fitting celebration of the work of Timothy J.
