(vol. 1, p. 1).

Word & World is a quarterly journal of theology that is meant for readers throughout the church who are concerned for Christian ministry in and to the world. A glance at our articles and our issue themes will show how we propose to bring Christian thinking to the questions posed by life in our world today. (More About Word & World...)

At Word & World we take our conjunctions and prepositions seriously.

We are Word and World:
Things flow both ways across an "and." Word is in conversation with world. We seek to inform and to be informed. We speak and we listen. We do not fear the open connection because we believe both word and world belong to God.

We are Theology for Christian Ministry:
There is direction in a "for." Theology is for the work of God in the world; it is for the ministry of the church; it is for the gospel. Now, if theology is for ministry, neither theology nor ministry will remain unchanged. Such change we do not fear (well, maybe we fear a little) for it is the change that comes with life and growth. Published by: Luther-Northwestern Theological Seminaries, St. Paul, MN.
