What’s “Lutheran” About Lutheran Youth Ministry? A New Book Helps Answer That Question
Is youth ministry such a generic activity that it really makes no difference what you believe about Scripture, justification, or the Sacraments? Is it all pretty much the same? And if there are a few distinctive qualities brought to youth ministry by Lutheran theology, what are they? How would you notice them? What would they look like in practice?
CPH has released a new book called Eutychus Youth: Applied Theology for Youth Ministry in the 21st Century. This isn’t a study in theology applied to adolescent psychology, but rather, what Lutheran theology adds to the whole field of youth ministry that is not found anywhere else.
Whether you are a pastor, director of Christian education, parent, youth leader, or simply interested in reaching out to youth, this book will be indispensable to your ministry. Order yours today at cph.org or by calling 1-800-325-3040.

As one currently involved in Lutheran youth ministry, I look forward to picking this volume up. The introduction and first chapter are quite good.
Thank you, again, for continuing to put out solid, relevant, usable books. This is very different from when I first became a Lutheran 15 years ago and was often frustrated at the quality and content of all (except the books for children) which CPH put out at the time.
Kudos to those of you currently in charge of producing these works. Kudos, and thank you.

I had John Oberdeck for youth ministry classes in college. What a great teacher, pastor, and person! It’s nice to see he has a book out on youth ministry. Even though I’m not currently involved with youth ministry now, I will definately recommend this book to anyone who does work with them. Thank you for the heads up!
