A Documentary History of Lutheranism

"A collection of excerpts from Lutheran historical and theological documents presents readers with a picture of how the Lutheran movement developed in its thought and practice. Selections and introductions acquaint readers with both the enduring characteristics and changing features of this revolutionary Christian movement, always with an eye to how it affected and was experienced by ordinary people. Volume 1 covers the period from the Reformation to the rise of Pietism. Volume 2 analyzes the evolution of post-Enlightenment Lutheranism as it spreads to all the religions of the world."--Provided by publisher.
