The Early History of the Lutheran Church in Georgia

Beginning with the immigration of the Georgia Salzburgers religious exiles from Europe The Early History of the Lutheran Church in Georgia tells a story of faith and struggle that is deeply embedded in the religious and cultural life of the American colonial South. Previously unpublished and untranslated Hermann Windes dissertation laid the foundation for a limited group of scholars and specialists who have continued to develop that story for over four decades. Now both the detail that emerges through Windes primary sources and the breadth of the connections he makes across colonial Georgias geographical and cultural landscape will continue to appeal to scholars and general readers alike as they enter the world of Georgias first Lutheran communities.
