"Why I Love the Bible."
Beyond distinctions of intellect and spirit, an ever-transforming
affair of the heart.
I chose to speak about why I love the Bible, but when I came to
think about the title, it got a little complicated. To give reasons
for one's love feels awkward. You might be able to give reasons for
your choices, but before I fell in love with the Bible, I never went

"And Why Is This Granted to Me?"
A Sermon Preached by Krister Stendahl on the Fiftieth Anniversary

"The How and the Why: Theology and Liturgy"
Within the wide topic "Theology and Liturgy" I have chosen
to offer—as a point of departure—some suggestions to the insights of

Practice of Liturgy. This limitation is not based on any
preconceived ideas about a "superiority" of Biblical Theology . . .
