- Synopsis
- Lutherans came to North America, starting in the 1600s, chiefly from Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finlad and a few from Poland and Slovakia. This book, co-authored by six Lutheran scholars, recounts their journey to North America and describes their church life once they arrived. They grouped into synods, initially based on their countries of origin and later based on conservative or liberal thinking. Much of the book concerns itself with attempts to unify Lutherans into one church with a common hymnal and style of worship. As of 1979, when this book closes its history, cooperation has increased but full unity is not yet achieved.
