Download or read book The Story of Lutheran Sects written by Aarne Ruben and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-17 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the history of Reformation through the list of “sects”, which emerged soon after dissent between Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli became public. It is based on the vast compendiums of heretics, which were taken from the opusculi by such minor-known Catholic authors as Jacques Gaultier and Friedrich Staphylus. Some traces of their activities led to Old Livonia, where, after receiving a letter of support from Luther in 1525, the people were exalted for participating in the Reformation. The sophisticated story of iconoclasm in Tallinn, Riga and Tartu is another focus of this book.

Download or read book Lutherans in America written by and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Lutherans in America is one of mutual influence. From the first small groups of Lutherans to arrive in the colonies, to the large immigrations to the rich heartland of a growing nation, Lutherans have influenced, and been influenced by, America. In this lively and engaging new history, Granquist brings to light not only the varied and fascinating institutions that Lutherans founded and sustained but the people that lived within them. The result is a generous, human history that tells a complete story—not only about politics and policies but also the piety and the practical experiences of the Lutheran men and women who lived and worked in the American context. Bringing the story all the way to the present day and complemented with new charts, maps, images, and sidebars, Granquist ably covers the full range of Lutheran expressions, bringing order and clarity to a complex and vibrant tradition.

Download or read book Authority Vested written by Mary Todd and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like other major Protestant denominations in the United States, the 2.6-million-member Luther Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), founded in 1847, has struggled with issues of relevance and identity in society at large. In this book Mary Todd chronicles the history of this struggle for identity in the LCMS, critically examining the central--often contentious--issue of authority in relation to Scripture, ministry, and the role of women in the church. In recounting the history of the denomination, Todd uses the ministry of women as a case study to show how the LCMS has continually redefined its concept of authority in order to maintain its own historic identity. Based on oral histories and solid archival research, Authority Vested not only explores the internal life of a significant denomination but also offers critical insights for other churches seeking to maintain their Christian distinctives in religiously pluralistic America.

Download or read book Protestantism A Very Short Introduction written by Mark A. Noll and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark A. Noll presents a fresh and accessible history of Protestantism from the era of Martin Luther to the present day. Beginning with the founding of Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, and Anabaptist churches in the sixteenth-century Reformation, he also considers the rise of other important Christian movements like Methodism and Pentecostalism. Focussing on worldwide developments, rather than just the familiar European and American histories, he considers the recent expansion of Protestant movements in Africa, China, India, and Latin America, emphasising the on-going and rapidly expanding story of Protestants worldwide. Noll examines the contributions from well-known figures including Martin Luther and John Calvin, along with many others, and explores why Protestant energies have flagged recently in the Western world yet expanded so dramatically elsewhere. Highlighting the key points of Protestant commonality including the message of Christian salvation, reliance on the Bible, and organization through personal initiative, he also explores the reasons for Protestantism's extraordinary diversity.
