Faculty members from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis who have written or contributed to published books or other publications during the 2022-23 academic year were honored at the annual Concordia Seminary Author Reception May 16 in the Kristine Kay Hasse Memorial Library. The event was co-hosted by Concordia Publishing House.

Dean of Theological Research and Publication Dr. Erik Herrmann addressed the faculty, staff and other reception attendees, saying: “An enormous amount of work is represented here in this room, and I congratulate all of you.
