St. Paul Austin is pleased to host a seminary continuing education class this August.

Pr. John Pless will be teaching on Martin Luther’s Letters of Spiritual Counsel.

This course will examine selected letters Luther wrote to provide pastoral care to those suffering from illness, grief, doubt, depression, anxiety, marital discord, persecution, and the crosses that come with various callings in the church and the world. These letters will be viewed in the context of Luther’s theology and the necessity of distinguishing God’s Law from the Gospel in the care of souls.
