There is nothing more central to our life as a Lutheran community of higher education than to be concerned with the external word, as it is read on the page, heard from the chapel pulpit, and contemplated in conversation and writing.

The Great Texts Pathway embraces the tradition of education that began in ancient Greece with Socrates, was used by centuries of educators in the ancient and medieval church, was taken up by the Lutheran reformers in Wittenberg, and has been handed down to us by the Saxon immigrants who landed in Perry County, Missouri.

That tradition of education puts texts and conversation first, and lets Holy Scripture be the first of all texts. This Pathway therefore reflects not only our identity and mission as a Lutheran university, but also our spiritual and academic heritage.

The Great Texts Pathway through the curriculum is intended to form the soul and spirit of our students by giving attention to the meaning of seminal and central texts
