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.
