Carl Trueman Lecturing on Luther at SBTS

Excellent news from SBTS: Carl Trueman of Westminster Theological Seminary will deliver the prestigious Gheens Lectures at Southern Seminary next week.  To say I am excited to hear Trueman speak on Luther would be an exercise in understatement.  It gets better, though–Trueman is speaking on Luther as “theological pastor.”  Sounds like some pastor-theologian material to me…

Here’s the official announcement:

Next Tuesday and Wednesday, September 11-12, Dr. Carl Trueman will deliver the Fall 2012 Gheens Lectures in Heritage Hall entitled “We are Beggars: Martin Luther as Theological Pastor.” Dr. Trueman is the Paul Woolley Professor of Church History at Westminster Theological Seminary.
