ABOUT US
The Weidner Institute exists to provide theological education both to those who are interested in learning, but not in gaining a Seminary degree, as well as for pastors and other church workers who desire to have continued education. This is done through specialized courses offered online on a variety of subjects, along with single-evening seminars. They range from introductory courses to more advanced topics.
Along with these events, the Institute publishes contemporary theological material that addresses the problems of our world from a Lutheran perspective. This includes a series of books which compile essays on various theological topics from a practical and academic perspective. We also publish dissertations and other academic theological texts. We are now receiving submissions which can be sent to Submissions@JustandSinner.org.

The Weidner Institute is named after the nineteenth-century American Lutheran Theologian Revere Franklin Weidner. Weidner wrote numerous books on systematic theology, Biblical theology, and ethics. Within the age of revivalism, he was a proponent of Confessional Lutheran theology and identity, and he communicated this through teaching and writing. At the Weidner Institute, we honor his legacy through a similar promotion of Confessionalism in an age of confusion in the church.
