The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison is president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. His published works include At Home in the House of My Fathers, A Little Book on Joy, and an English translation of Johann Gerhard’s Meditations on Divine Mercy — recently featured as the Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club’s 2024 Reformation read.
In this episode, Pastor Harrison tells the stories behind this little book — both Gerhard’s story as author and his own as translator. Who is Johann Gerhard, and why is he one of the great Lutheran theologians? Which of Gerhard’s meditations does Harrison keep revisiting in his own prayer life, and why?
At the end of the episode, Erin takes the opportunity to ask Pastor Harrison some more personal questions: Who are the most important women in his life? What are the coolest things he’s gotten to do as president of the LCMS? Who is the person who keeps him most humble?
Get to know both Gerhard’s Meditations and President Harrison more deeply in this warm and personal interview.
