This new issue contains two interviews with faithful scholars who have served the Church for decades, original articles – the range of authors will gradually expand, and this time, a pastor from the Siberian Evangelical Lutheran Church has contributed – as well as translations of works of classical Lutheran theologians. The issue also includes an infographic supplement detailing the stages of the Ingrian Church’s revival after the Soviet period, highlighting some of the restored or newly founded congregations. The infographic was kindly prepared specifically for the journal by Koordinata 33 | Media on Lutheranism.
The Confessional Theological Journal is a project of the Education Department of the Ingrian Church.

First Issue
We welcome articles on confessional Lutheran theology dealing with relevant topics for Lutheran parishioners and ministers (e.g., critique of modern exegetical approaches, reviews of contemporary theological books, dogmatics, etc.). The style should be academic yet accessible, aimed at a broad readership within the Church and those interested in Lutheranism. The journal is published in digital format.
