Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early History of the Lutheran Church in America: From the Settlement of the Swedes on the Delaware, to the Middle of the Eighteenth Century Thus we have succeeded, at least partly, in carry ing out the intentions of the Board, by the prepara tion of a small volume. We have also endeavored to present such a variety of facts, and to show their connection in such a manner, as might possibly make the volume somewhat instructive. Our facilities for the collection of materials, in the several public libraries of Philadelphia and elsewhere, have been such, that a regard to brevity has often compelled us to restrain ourselves from the discussion of matters which would certainly be appropriate to a more extended and elaborate history. We have been the more willing to pursue this course, because we felt that what we did present had much of the charm of novelty, and that we were acting only as pioneers in an enterprise which will surely be undertaken yet, as it deserves to be, with a more comprehensive grasp, and achieved with greater thoroughness.

This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States Lutheranism is a specific form Of Christian life. The propriety Of the name as a designation Of that form Of life is not for us to determine. Apart from our Willingness or unwillingness to assume it, it has become a fixed term for a definite and well-known Object. As religion is not mere intellectualism, or mere sentiment, or mere activity, so Lutheranism, as a form of the only true religion, Christian ity, is far more than a system of doctrines, or a mode Of worship, or a form of Church organization. The Spirit of a Church is always greater and deeper than its expression; its faith is always greater than its confession. Lutheran ism is a mode Of viewing and receiving and living the truths Of Christianity; or rather of viewing and receiving and living in mystical union with Him who is the begin ning and end Of all these truths. The peculiarities which mark its relation to Christ determine peculiarities With respect to other Objects. The principles underlying the doctrinal position reappear in the spheres Of ethics and liturgics, Of homiletics and Church government. Even the faith Of a great sculptor or a great musical composer will express itself in a different way according to the peculiar ities of the confession by which his religious life has been nourished and trained. Everything that enters into the religious life, or that proceeds from it, is molded and col ored by the specific form which that life assumes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lutheran Church and the Civil War The religious life of peoples and the interplay between religious forces and political and eco nomic forces has too little concerned students of modern history. When church and state were one, when religious differences fostered wars, both national and civil, when the state was free ing itself from the church and the church from the state, religion was politics and the two were often inseparable. But here, in America, where every man may worship God as he wills and the church ﬂourishes independently of the state, we are too apt to overlook the fact that the church exercises an inﬂuence on the people, even in matters seemingly political or economic only, more potent by far than is generally appreciated or, ofttimes, even known to any but the most conscious observers. It is with the relation to each other of the Lutheran church and slavery that our author here deals and his study, it is hoped, is the forerunner of many other like con tributions to our national history.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Confessional History of the Lutheran Church The sad service, and yet a privilege, was assigned me by the author of this volume to preface his work by a few words expressive of the conditions of its issue. Professor Richard, after a brief yet severe illness lasting but five days, passed away, March 7th, from earthly labor in the full vigor of mental and physical life. Only one-half of the proof matter of the volume received his personal examination and correction before his death. This volume is the finis as well as the ripe fruit of his studies for twenty years in this department of scholarly research. It was the intention of the author to append to his volume a bibliography of the literature pertaining to this subject, and consulted by him in its preparation; but his sudden removal by death precluded the execution of the purpose. Fully two hundred volumes, chiefly Latin and German, were consulted, all of which are in the libraries of the Theological Seminary and of Pennsylvania College, save about twenty volumes, some not purchasable and borrowed, and several examined in the library of the University of Leipzig. It would doubtless have been a great pleasure to the author to read the reviews and criticisms of his work, and to elucidate and substantiate the claims resulting from his researchful labors. But he has now left the truth to vindicate itself on the pages of history. He labored to reach objective facts, and to relate them according to his consciousness of historic verity, a consciousness illumined by wide researches. The loss to the Theological Seminary of his living personality can only in part be compensated by a wide circle of readers who may be interested in this historic subject, and desire to be profited by his fruitful investigations and his gift of creedal discipline. Recognition is due Professors J. 0. Evjen and K. J. Grimm for their kind service of final proof reading and critical suggestions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Lutheran Church, Historically, Doctrinally, and Practically Delineated: In Several Occasional Discourses In offering this work to the public, it is proper that some of the considerations which have actuated the publishers, should be stated. The title itself is significant of the subject on which it treats. The true history, real character, present position, and distinctive features of the Lutheran Church in the world, are little known, often misunderstood, and sometimes grossly misrepresented in this country. Among the causes which may be assigned for this, we mention the want of a proper knowledge of Church History in general, and of Protestantism in particular; non-acquaintance with the German language, and it is to be feared, denominational bigotry.
