Authentic Christianity: How Lutheran Theology Speaks to a Postmodern World

Churches across America are constantly updating their culture to accord with the secular culture. But Authentic Christianity offers another idea: that the Lutheran tradition embodies a framework of Christianity that uniquely addresses the postmodern condition. It does so not by being "emergent" or by making up a new approach to church or to the Christian life. Rather, it does so in an unexpected way: by being confessional, sacramental, and vocational. Authentic Christianity is a collaboration between an academic of the Boomer generation and a young Millennial pastor. Coming from two very different places - different generations, different vocations, different entries into Lutheranism - authors Gene Veith and Trevor Sutton offer their unique perspectives on how Lutheran theology engages contemporary life.
