Carl Braaten’s memoirs tell the story of his life as a theologian, from his early years as a missionary kid in Madagascar to his years of study at the universities of Paris, Harvard, Heidelberg, and Oxford to his decades of teaching. Throughout the book, he delves into the many theological movements, controversies, and personalities that shaped his thinking and writing. / Braaten’s fight for the faith is reflected in his theological work -- spoken and written -- that tangles with the "isms” of the surrounding culture of American religion. Because of Christ is more than simply a biography; it is a chronicle of the chief theological conflicts of the twentieth century that put the integrity of the gospel to the test.… (meer)

This is a fascinating book for a son of a missionary, student of theology in Africa and Europe, pastor in the Lutheran Church and teacher of theology too. This read however became quite intriguing when he started to disclose the influence of the Seminex people on the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago, but also on ELCA as a whole - it just became another liberal protestant denomination in the sense of "Kulturprotestantismus" or paraphrasing Karl Barth: "Just another form of heresy". It is with sadness, but also some trepidation to see how such a Church gives up its very foundations. Interesting to read how the local Prof. Dr. Klaus Nuernberger opposes Braaten in his analysis. Issues of homosexuality, quotas, democracy in the church, but also JDDJ are also addressed in a thoughtful way. Braaten is not a confessional Lutheran in the sense of the ILC, but his autobiography goes a long way to explain contemporary workings in the ELCA, LWF and global Church. Tolle lege! (
