Graduate School for Luther’s Theology M. Th. Program in Luther Studies
Martin Luther (1483-1546) is one of the most outstanding, pivotal personalities in all Christian history. Today’s historians and theologians alike quite unanimously acknowledge that Luther’s importance and significance is unique, both in terms of his tremendous influence upon history (the Protestant Reformation and subsequent history of Protestant churches, theologies and missions) and of his undiminished appeal upon modern man (interest and research in Luther the man and his theology has not decreased in recent years, but has rather grown universal, irrespective of any denominational borderlines).
If we could ask Martin Luther how he regarded himself, he would probably tell us that he is nothing but a Christian, that is a pardoned sinner – a sinner pardoned for the sake of his dear Lord Jesus Christ, whom he wholeheartedly wished to serve throughout his life in his brothers and sisters with God’s Word.

How to respond to the tremendous needs in modern society and to care about many afflicted and broken souls is one of the main challenges of the church in Taiwan. Therefore, in addition to the emphasis on the healing services, many Christian churches and para-church organizations consecutively start the counseling ministry. ...繼續閱讀

Instruction on Spiritual Direction by Dr. Ekman Tan
Dr. Ekman Tan just completed his interim course instruction on spiritual direction on January 25-29, and lectures in the seminars sponsored by China Lutheran Seminary. One of the characteristics of the Spiritual Devotion Camp is to enjoy quietness. The participants are supposed to not to talk to each other and try to pay attention to the encountering with God, through the pictures to devote, touched by the scriptures or messages. The other special aspect is that the participants all enjoy the rich Communion prayer meeting under the warm and shine candle light by singing some short graceful hymns and re-read the Psalm 139 by themselves. It is just like God whisper to everyone who is communicating with the Creator, how He is with us, and how He realizes what happened to us and guide us afterwards. ...繼續閱讀
