| dc.description.abstract | Dustin Blumer’s church history thesis presents an interview with Dr. John Brug, a professor at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary and author of a recently published Psalms commentary. Blumer explores Brug’s path into ministry, shaped by a strong Christian upbringing, family influence, and the power of God’s Word. The interview highlights Brug’s motivations for writing his commentary—not for recognition, but to serve pastors and point readers to Christ in the Psalms. Brug affirms that pastors, through sound hermeneutics and faithful teaching, function as commentators in their own right. He emphasizes the importance of daily Bible reading as the key to deeper understanding, encouraging Scripture to interpret Scripture. Blumer reflects on Brug’s humility, dedication, and gospel-centered approach, expressing gratitude for faithful teachers who equip others to proclaim Christ. The interview concludes with praise to God for the gifts of ministry and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit.
