Gerhard O. Forde was an American Lutheran theologian who wrote extensively on the Protestant Reformation and Lutheran theology and tradition. Following his retirement, he remained active as a teacher and lecturer for several years. His writings explore the profound understanding of the Reformation and its lasting impact on theological thought. Forde's legacy lies in his ability to explain complex theological concepts with clarity and insight.
