Description
Findings: Explorations in Christian Life and Learning
by Dr. Martin Galstad
In this second, expanded edition the reader will find that Christians can and ought to be scholars. A model scholar, Martin Galstad read widely, tested what he found with Scripture, and kept that which was good. He warned against extremes and against forcing Scriptures to say more than they do. Galstad's Findings still speak to us.
The "Foreword" was written by author/editor Ronald Klug and the "Afterword" by Professor Paul R. Boehlke, both former students of Galstad.
Martin Galstad's evangelical spirit and depth of insight into almost any and every subject have always impressed me...a great gift to Christ's church. I have been enriched from having known him. I am delighted that this book is being reissued. It is a classic.

If hard truth must be spoken, here's hoping we can learn anew from Martin Galstad's words: "It is not the tornado or lightning that breaks rocks into sand and soil; it is oftener the quiet expansion of the frost and ice that are not even heard on a cold winter night." ...or the still, small voice of the Gospel.

Dr. Galstad's essays, as found in "Foundations," "Gladly Learning and Teaching," and "Living with Quality" will bite and incite and stir up his fellow Lutherans and indeed Christians everywhere who know that we cannot be comfortable with the status quo of either our formal teaching or out routine living. Here, in this amazing little book, we experience what it means to be at our post at Thermopylae, if you will -- Kierkegaard's metaphor for the crucial worth of each and every believer's daily vocation. Here we can see for ourselves how Professor Galstad's gadfly-ishness is just what we need in order to wake up to the reality of Christ's presence and fight the good fight in our twenty-first century schools and contemporary lives with renewed energy and purpose.
