Society of Adventist Philosophers - The Architecture of Authority: Legitimacy, Obedience, and Contestation
Lutheran Scholars Network (LSN) is sponsoring this pre-AAR workshop on Luther and mysticism. Our focus is emerging scholarship, in particular: 1) Luther in view of medieval antecedents; 2) critical work on early 20th century connections to German nationalism; 3) ecumenical mysticism during times of crisis; 4) constructive spiritual and political practices. Keynotes by JT Paasch and Aristotle Papanikolaou.

Discussion (10 min)
Join Logos for Education for a special Friday morning gathering designed to equip and inspire educators.
Start the day with a relaxed breakfast and meaningful conversation, followed by a practical training session focused on effective teaching and innovative uses of Logos in the classroom. Our morning will feature a guest speaker addressing key principles of impactful instruction, as well as a panel of faculty from partner institutions sharing how they integrate Logos into their courses to support biblical worldview, research, and student engagement.
Whether you’re a long-time Logos user or simply exploring its possibilities, this session offers insight, connection, and practical tools you can take back to your classroom. You’re welcome to join us just for breakfast and the speaker—or stay for the full experience.
This flexible event is open to all educators and designed with you in mind.
