"Lutheranism in America is a comprehensive history of the Lutheran church and the Lutheran people in the United States. This volume ... presents the historical facts and interprets the general course of events in such a way as to prevent the reader from losing the main thread in a mass of details. At the same time this work points the way toward advanced study. Beginning with the early Lutheran church in New Netherlands, the author shows the relationship between American culture and the Lutheran Church. He carefully presents the development of this church in the light of historical perspective, showing how the church and the nation were born in America at the same time, grew up side by side and developed by similar stages of progress. Dr. Wentz also shows how the Lutheran church in America is an integral and potent part of American Christianity, and its members a typical element of the American nation."--Jacket.
