PDF Download: Classical Lutheran Education Journal XVII

This is a downloadable version of the the 2025 Classical Lutheran Education Journal.

The Classical Lutheran Education Journal (CLEJ) provides Lutheran educators, administrators, pastors, students, and home schoolers with useful and pertinent content for the purpose of deepening our understanding of classical Lutheran education and honing our craft. The CLEJ, which is published annually, contains forum pieces and scholarly articles intended to stimulate discussion about topical issues related to classical Lutheran education. In doing so, we continue to participate in the Great Conversation—the ongoing process of writers and thinkers reflecting on and refining the work of their predecessors.
