For over 30 years, Sasse corresponded with Lutheran pastors in Australia, the United States, and around the world on topics as varied as the nature of the Sacrament or of the Church, mission, church history, the nature of Scripture, and ecumenical issues (especially unification efforts in the Lutheran Church and world Christianity).

About the Author
Hermann Sasse (1895"1976) was trained at the University of Berlin under such well-known theologians as Harnack and Deissmann. During a study year in the United States, Sasse discovered the writings of Wilhelm Lhe and returned to Europe a convinced confessional Lutheran. In this faith he persisted, despite great difficulties, as a professor of theology at the University of Erlangen and at Immanuel Seminary (later renamed Luther Seminary then ALC), North Adelaide, Australia.
