The editors and officers of Lutheran Quarterly have created an endowment fund in memory of Gerhard O. Forde, the leading voice of "Radical Lutheranism" emphasizing justification by faith alone. Forde was a frequent contributor to Lutheran Quarterly and Lutheran Quarterly Books (Eerdmans), a longtime Vice President of the LQ Board, and Professor Emeritus of Luther Seminary.
"With our own personal donations as staff and Board members," said Paul Rorem, editor of LQ and LQ Books, "we have committed ourselves to furthering the Forde legacy of proclaiming the gospel through evangelical theology and careful historical scholarship."
With initial gifts in hand, the LQ Board can apply the Forde Fund to specific publication projects that promote "Radical Lutheranism," such as the recent publication of Forde's own essays (The Preached God: Proclamation in Word and Sacrament), edited by his students – Associate Editors Steven Paulson and Mark Mattes. "As Melanchthon said of Luther," recalled Associate Editor Timothy Wengert of the Philadelphia Seminary, "this is the man who taught us the gospel." The editors invite all his students and readers worldwide to join them in extending Forde's legacy.
