PLUS, a translated appendix that could not be included in the printed version of Lutheran Quarterly can be found here: "Appendix 4 - 'Economic and Social Order.'" In Memoriam: Vítor Westhelle, 1952-2018
Dr. Vítor Westhelle, professor of systematic theology at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, died on May 13, 2018. With so much to say about his life and work, Lutheran Quarterly would like to share this essay that Dr. Westhelle published in 2010. From beginning to end, it testifies to the God who brings life out of death.
It is entitled "Justification as Death and Gift." It concludes with these words: "Justification should be addressed as one would in writing an obituary to oneself, saying that it is neither what one wanted or desired, nor what one's interest bargained for, only that a single word would convey, and yet would already be a word too long to account for justification: tetelestai, finished.” Among his countless contributions to the global church and the academy, Dr. Westhelle was a member of Lutheran Quarterly's Council of Editorial Advisors. For more about Vítor's life and witness, please see this announcement from LSTC. Requiescat in pace. Timeline of Global Lutheranism
