Herman Otten, Founding Editor of the national conservative Lutheran weekly, Christian News, New Haven, Missouri: Herman Otten has edited and published Christian News since 1962. His enemies and friends alike acknowledge that there is no Christian periodical on the face of the earth with the content--and the audacity--of Christian News. Otten will discuss the grim state of the American church in a post-Christian age, what originally drove him to create his publication in 1962, and the incompatibility of Christian Zionism with truly orthodox, evangelical Christianity based on a legitimate Biblical hermeneutic.
