Introducing a new academic journal.

The administration at FLBC announced the publication of a new educational resource at the recent Seminary Symposium in January. Volume 1 of Sola Scriptura is now available for purchase. This annual journal of the Free Lutheran Bible College and Seminary is intended for pastors, members, and friends of the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations. Each volume will include writing from faculty members and guest contributors, as well as highlighting exceptional student papers. Volume 1 includes articles from Dr. Brent Olson (“Ezekiel and Sola Scriptura”), Dr. Nathan Olson (“The Word of God That Elicits Faith”), Dr. James Molstre (“The Ministry of the Word in the Congregation”), seminarian Alex Monseth (“A Lutheran View of Romans 9”), and a sermon transcript from Larry Walker (“The Ruthless Love of Christ: John 11:20–21”).

The name Sola Scriptura was chosen to reflect the journal’s purpose, to “bring God’s Word to bear on different aspects of our faith and life,” while affirming its infallibility, inerrancy, and authority. In his introduction to the inaugural volume, editor Andrew Kneeland states, “Sola Scriptura does not mean, however, that we should shun all other books, resources, and teachings. We don’t read our Bibles as if no one has ever read them before. … As we seek to faithfully wrestle through the topics and issues of the day, living and serving in our vocations and spheres of influence, may God grant that we continue to confess the sufficiency and authority of Scripture.”
