On the New Year’s Eve, the mail brought me the new Lutherjahrbuch 2013 with all papers and seminar reports of our Congress in Helsinki 2012. I spent the first days of New Year reading this 380-page volume, noting how many interesting things I can only now learn from our Congress.

My sincere thanks to all of you for your intellectual effort, and in particular to Prof. Christopher Spehr, the new editor of Lutherjahrbuch, for his effective work with the volume. You can order the Lutherjahrbuch from the German Luther-Gesellschaft or from the publishing house Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht.
