\n\t\tReviews published in 2024\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t

Under the leadership of Mary Jane Haemig and Martin Lohrmann, Lutheran Quarterly published 75 reviews n the four issues of volume 38. \n

\n2024 saw continued strength in reviews received, edited, and awaiting publication. 31 reviews had been edited and await publication as of January 1, 2025. \nSome of these may have been published by the time you read this report.) As of January 1, 2025, 53 reviews had been assigned and not yet submitted. \n

\n\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.

\nMartin Lohrmann has begun his work as Associate Book Review Editor. I particularly appreciate his suggestions for new reviewers and look forward to further collaboration. \n<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
