Picture
Kirsi Stjerna, a native of Finland, is a Lutheran theologian engaged (in her own words" in "critical and compassionate" examination of the relevance of Luther's freedom theology for the contemporary world. 
 
In addition to serving full-time at PLTS, Stjerna teaches at the Core Doctoral Faculty at Graduate Theological Union, both in Theology and Ethics department, and in Historical and Cultural Studies of Religion department Ethics (Chair, 2022-2023). Until summer 2022, she served as the Chair of the Local Committee for the  14th International Congress for Luther Research, hosted at California Lutheran University, Thousand Oaks, CA, in August 2022, where she also led a seminar on "Luther and Religion" with Christopher Ocker (GTU).
 
Stjerna's book Women and the Reformation (Wiley 2008) broke new ground by bringing women's theological voices to the conversation. Her newest book Women Reformers of the Early Modern Europe: Profiles, Texts, and Contexts (Fortress/Media 1517, 2022) features original and cutting edge work of over 30 international scholars and is designed as both a teaching and reference tool. It is this material that she will address in her sessions at Chico.

Dr. Stjerna will have three sessions in the schedule. The other three speaker sessions will involve presentations from our synod Changing Climate Taskforce and the Racial Justice Taskforce.
