The Lutheran church in America and around the world has undergone various shifts and changes, especially in the past couple decades. This new edition addresses the major differences between the Lutheran church bodies, giving you a comprehensive picture of one of the oldest and most influential Protestant groups. Written from a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) perspective, the book is a balanced and introspective examination of Lutheranism as a whole. Its four parts also discuss the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and other various national and international Lutheran groups.
