Did you know that Luther Seminary student dissertations and faculty papers were downloaded 16,365 times last month alone? Readers come from Asia, South America, Africa, and Europe. Many of our student dissertations make their way into the Luther Seminary Library bibliographies resource. For example, our Søren Kierkegaard bibliography includes the 2024 dissertation by Andrés Albertson on “Love and Politics“ (Hegel and Kierkegaard). And our Digital Commons is a vast online resource to explore.
