American Lutheranism VOLUME II The United Lutheran Church (General Synod, General Council, United Synod in the South) By F. BENTE St. Louis, Mo. CONCORDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE 1919
American Lutheranism will appear in four volumes, this present second volume to be followed by the first, dealing with the early history of Lutheranism in America.
The third volume will present the history of the Ohio, Iowa, Buffalo, and the Scandinavian synods.
The fourth volume will contain the history and doctrinal position of the Missouri, Wisconsin, and other synods connected with the Synodical Conference.
As appears from this second volume, our chief object is to record the facts as to the theological attitude of the various Lutheran bodies in America, with such comment only as we deemed necessary.
As to the quotations from the Lutheran Observer and other English periodicals, we frequently had to content ourselves with retranslations from the German in Lehre und Wehre , Lutheraner , etc.
Brackets found in passages cited contain additions, comments, corrections, etc., of our own, not of the respective periodicals quoted.
If errors, no matter of whatever nature they may be, should have crept in anywhere, we here express our gratitude for corrections made.
Further prefatory and introductory remarks will accompany Vol. I, which, Deo volente , will go to the printers forthwith.
