The Mystery of God, The Presence of God with Men

Book •
Wilhelm Stählin's 'The Mystery of God, The Presence of God with Men' is a Lutheran theological treatment exploring how God's presence is mediated in the divine service and liturgical life.

Written in German in 1936 and translated into English, it connects Lutheran sacramental theology with liturgical renewal and the Berneuchen movement.

Stählin uses Luther's language of 'in, with, and under' to reflect on the presence of Christ in worship while engaging questions of dogma and liturgy.

The book influenced 20th-century high-church Lutheran thought, though critics note translation and doctrinal emphasis issues.

It aimed to recover the sense of divine mystery within congregational worship and sacramental practice.
