The Lutheran Church in Colonial America

Many people have been waiting for a thorough and scholarly work on the early history of Lutheranism in our country. Dr. L.P. Qualben deserves our deep thanks for doing this task and doing it well. - W. G. Polack Professor in Church History Concordia Seminary St. Louis Mo. Valuable features of the work are the proportionately full discussion of European backgrounds; the study of colonial Lutherans no as an isolated group but rather as an integral part of the general colonial life and development; and the inclusion of a section on Lutheran developments in Canada. - Theodore G. Tappert Professor in Church History Mount Airy Seminary Philadelphia Pa. The book should prove helpful to anyone interested in the formative period of our American nation and the part that Lutheranism played in its birth. - P.H. Buehring Professor in Church History Capital University Columbus Ohio
