Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief History of the Lutheran Church in America This "Brief History of the Lutheran Church of America" had its origin in a practical need. It is necessary that students preparing for the ministry in the Lutheran Churches of America should be informed concerning the history of the congregations of the Lutheran Confession in the various states of that land. They are to learn something concerning the immigrations which from the middle of the 17th to the 19th century carried the Lutheran Confession to those shores, and concerning the faithful men who succeeded in gathering the first congregations and organizing the first synods. They are to become acquainted with the various larger synodical bodies which have been formed in the process of time, and their distinctive character. They are to become informed concerning the doctrinal controversies which have been waged there, and which have in part led to definite formulations of doctrines. This is the chief purpose of the present volume. In its concise form, restricting itself, as it does, to the chief events of this history, presenting the differences between the various groups with the greatest possible objectivity, and giving a reprint of the most important doctrinal decisions, together with ample statistical tables containing the latest figures, it meets a want which has been felt in the most varied circles of the German fatherland. As we must in general turn our attention more and more to the ecclesiastical conditions of America, so in particular we sons of the German Reformation must take an interest in the Churches and synodical organizations which there value the Lutheran Confession.
