The late Dr. A. L. Barry, past President of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, prepared a series of pamphlets addressing a wide range of topics of interest to newcomers and lifelong Lutherans alike. We've grouped the"What About..." series into several categories. Click each individual title to open the corresponding PDF file from the LCMS. You may also download the "What About..." series, either indivuidually or as a single document that includes every pamphlet, at the LCMS website. Hard copies of each pamphlet may also be available from the church. The free Acrobat PDF reader may be downloaded here.
