President A. L. Barry “What About…? Pamphlets

The “What About..” pamphlets are a series of 29 pamphlets with an introduction, written by former Synod President A.L. Barry, that address doctrinal topics, moral issues and concerns in the church to help Christians grow in their understanding of these important questions. These documents are available in PDF format and address many issues that we face in our daily lives and Christian Journey.  They are a brief way to answer our friends and family when they ask “Just what do you Lutherans believe about…”?

These documents can be read or downloaded from the following website:
