ei[ ti" lalei',wJ" lovgia Qeou'logia is a journal of Lutheran theology. As such it publishes articleson exegetical, historical, systematic, and liturgical theology that promotethe orthodox theology of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. We cling toGod’s divinely instituted marks of the church: the gospel, preached purelyin all its articles, and the sacraments, administered according toChrist’s institution. This name expresses what this journal wants to be. InGreek, LOGIA functions either as an adjective meaning “eloquent,”“learned,” or “cultured,” or as a plural noun meaning “divine revelations,”“words,” or “messages.” The word is found in 1 Peter 4:11, Acts7:38 and Romans 3:2. Its compound forms include oJmologiva (confession),ajpologiva (defense), and ajvnalogiva (right relationship). Each ofthese concepts and all of them together express the purpose and methodof this journal. LOGIA is committed to providing an independent theologicalforum normed by the prophetic and apostolic Scriptures and theLutheran Confessions. At the heart of our journal we want our readers tofind a love for the sacred Scriptures as the very Word of God, not merelyas rule and norm, but especially as Spirit, truth, and life which revealsHim who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—Jesus Christ our Lord.Therefore, we confess the church, without apology and without rancor,only with a sincere and fervent love for the precious Bride of Christ, theholy Christian church, “the mother that begets and bears every Christianthrough the Word of God,” as Martin Luther says in the Large Catechism(LC II, 42). We are animated by the conviction that the EvangelicalChurch of the Augsburg Confession represents the true expression ofthe church which we confess as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic.THE COVER ART is a photograph of the antemesale from TrorslundeChurch.
