And how are they to hear?

"But how are they to call on one in whom they have not
believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have
never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to
proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are
sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who
bring good news!’" Romans 10:14-15

In every age the
Holy Spirit calls
forth preachers of
the Gospel and
sends them with
the Word of hope,
the Word of for-
giveness, and the
Word of new life
that is Jesus the
Christ.
Accordingly, every age struggles to find the most effective ways
to train and educate those who have been so called.

The Institute of Lutheran Theology partners with congregations
to train preachers and teachers both to know and proclaim the
true gospel of Jesus Christ and to expose the false gospels of
the world. Rooted in Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions,
ILT gives students the tools to confess and proclaim the good
news of Jesus the Christ.

The Institute of Lutheran Theology is an independent, pan-
Lutheran theological education project that works with all who
share our conviction that God is at work in the world bringing
sinners to repentance and new life in Jesus the Christ. Through
Internet-based courses and work in a sponsoring congregation,
students integrate theological education with pastoral practice.
With a variety of programs, from Pastoral Certification to the
more traditional Master of Divinity, ILT seeks to prepare faithful
proclaimers of the good news.

In addition to providing theological education for pastors and
teachers, the Institute offers a variety of lay courses through the
ILT Academy, courses that work extremely well for adult
education within congregations.

Sending out faithful proclaimers of the good news has never
been more crucial than it is today. Will you join us?
