The Rev. Amadeus Gandy, U.S. Air Force Chaplain at Eielson AFB, Alaska, and pastor of St. Martin of Tours Mission to the Armed Forces Lutheran Parish, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study the Wisdom of Solomon in the Liturgy.
Most people know that our beloved liturgy is really nothing more than hearing God speak to us through his word, while we respond in prayer and praise—also through his word! The Lutheran Service Book does a good job of showing from where in the Bible each part of our liturgy comes. But did you know that some parts you recite on Sunday come from the Apocrypha? Which parts? Why? What is the Apocrypha? These questions and more will be answered on this special “Free-Text Friday” episode of Thy Strong Word.
