LQ at 25: Oswald Bayer lecture tour

To commemorate its 25th anniversary, LQ is sponsoring a lecture tour by German theologian Oswald Bayer. He will visit several Lutheran seminaries across the U.S. so that a new generation can hear him in person. His main address on those occasions, "A Public Mystery," will recognize the LQ logo: "The Word of the Lord remains forever." 

A foretaste of the lecture: "The word of God, which remains forever (Is. 40:8), enters the public realm, apocalyptically, and yet it remains a mystery. The mystery is that of the divine  name, which unlike all other mysteries, especially the agonizing mystery of evil  and the hardness of heart, is not a riddle that once solved is put aside. It is  the mystery of the eternally rich, living and therefore inexhaustible God."
