A Time for Confessing

Foreword by Edward H. Schroeder

This book is about faithful witnesses -- from the Reformation to South African apartheid to Bonhoeffer -- to the promise of Jesus Christ. Even in the midst of trials, these faithful followers have testified that the gospel is authority enough for the church's life and unity. Significantly, this is the first book in print by the late Robert Bertram, described by Edward Schroeder as “perhaps the most unpublished major Lutheran theologian of the twentieth century.”

Robert W. Bertram (1921–2003) was one of the founders of the Crossings Community in the 1970s in St. Louis, Missouri. He also taught at Valparaiso University, Concordia University, and Lutheran Theological Seminary in Chicago.
