Hello this is Roy Askin's editor of the Luther

Witness. One of our goals is to help you, as I say all the time,

interpret the world from a Lutheran perspective and that includes

interpreting our contemporary culture and the major writings that have

informed it. If you haven't already you need to check out the

Lutheran Witness website and see our series on literary reflections where we have commented on

works such as Huckleberry Finn to kill a mockingbird, the writings of Jane Austin and more.
