He retired to take a position as registrar with the American Lutheran Theological Seminary. During his tenure he assisted the president with seminary administration, including researching and writing articles for their denominational magazine and preparing assorted theological papers. During his time at the seminary, Kris began the research that eventually became the book you see before you.
