{"product_id":"global-lutheranism-in-the-contemporary-richard-cimino-9781032776149","title":"Global Lutheranism in the Contemporary World: Luther's Realm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores Lutheranism and its various expressions throughout the world. This Protestant tradition has spread and developed far from its European and American heartlands to take on increasingly diverse forms. The global dispersion of Lutheranism and how it interacts with different cultures and worldviews has resulted in Lutheran pluralism in theology and church practices. Still, there are distinctive Lutheran teachings that are present in most churches going by that name. However complex the concept of world Lutheranism may be, this volume demonstrates that a wide-angle view can best be achieved through understanding national Lutheran expressions and the \"lived religion\" of these churches and their adherents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe globalization of Christianity has impacted all communions, but at the same time, local and national contexts and institutions remain crucial in mediating global and transnational flows and shaping Christian identity, particularly as globalization has been challenged by nationalism and populism. The contributors employ historical and sociological research methods along with theological analysis to understand Lutheranism. The chapters consider prospects for Lutheranism and Lutheran identity in vastly different societies, reflecting the continuing growth of Lutheran churches in the global South and East.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe countries and regions examined may not comprise all of the world's Lutherans, but they are, in most cases, the societies with the strongest Lutheran presence that will decide the future of Lutheranism. The book will be of particular interest to scholars of global Christianity and the history of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Cimino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032776145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032776149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Richard Cimino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47758419099903,"sku":"9781032776149","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5cc1d9dc-4ad7-42de-a834-44f92647c4e2.jpg?v=1765511342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-lutheranism-in-the-contemporary-richard-cimino-9781032776149","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
