The agreement by three major Lutheran church bodies in Americathe American Evangelical Lutheran Church, the American Lutheran Church, and the Lutheran Church in Americato form a new and united church has raised questions of ecclesial, structural, and sociological import. These essays raise those questions in boldly theological terms, convinced that only such theological discussion finally serves the church and its mission. The essays are sharp, at times partisan, comprehensible to specialist and nonspecialist alike, and always deeply committed to the whole life of a church that is both catholic and evangelical. As members of the present church bodies move toward a new life together, they must face these questions with fearlessness, understanding, and hope. CARL E. BRAATEN is Professor of Systematic Theology at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago where these essays were first presented at a conference on "The New Church and lts Ministry." He is the author of Principles of Lutheran Theology and, with Robert W. Jenson, coeditor of the twovolume work, Christian Dogmatics.
