Reclaiming the Reformation by Magnus Persson
What treasures of the reformation can pastors, Christians and the church make use of today when trying to navigate burnout and scandal? What should a person look for in a church? Magnus Persson examines his own journey from popular preacher where church was a party, to the Lutheran faith and a pastor in the Church of Sweden where he relishes the liturgy nourished by historic roots using Luther’s book “On Council’s and the Church” to answer this question and explain his journey. Originally titled Christ’s Church, On the Marks of the Church Magnus shows the influence of Bo Giertz but also draws on many different influences from within and without the Lutheran tradition to explain how everything the church does needs to be focused on Christ crucified for you. Church is about communicating the forgiveness of sins Christ won for you on the cross to you. The church does this through the word, the liturgy, and the sacraments. Through these means the soul is nourished and matured to handle the distress and tribulation with which the world harries the church and her people. Here true rest is found for the souls of pastors battered by the pressure to be the next biggest church in town before they burnout and check out with scandal.
Magnus Persson is a onetime entrepreneurial pastor who started a large contemporary congregation in Malmö , Sweden, with an international church planting network. Today, he serves as an Evangelical-Lutheran pastor in the Church of Sweden. He works for EFS, an evangelical movement within the Church of Sweden, seeking to revive and restore the message and mission of the Reformation.
