Faith-Inspired Literature in the Library
Looking for faith-inspired literature to provide a break from your studies? If you’re a lover of great fiction, be sure to check out Luther Seminary Library’s Online Guide to Literature and the Arts. We feature classic Christian authors from Dante Alighieri to Frederick Buechner, Flannery O’Connor, and Marilynne Robinson—with her new book “The Beauty of Souls“—and many more. With this guide, you will also find the latest books on art, culture, and film as they relate to Christian faith.
Inside Luther News – Deadline for June Edition
Want to share something in an upcoming edition of Inside Luther News, the seminary’s new internal e-newsletter? Send your announcement to communic@luthersem.edu. Submit items for the June edition by Wednesday, May 14. Inside Luther News helps keep students, staff, and faculty connected to our mission, people, and stories. Content in the e-newsletter is meant to be somewhat broader in scope—seasonal announcements, monthly reminders, stories about recent events or news of upcoming projects—than the daily Community Announcements posts and emails.
