Norwegian American Lutheranism Up To 1872 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258344290)

""Norwegian American Lutheranism Up To 1872"" is a comprehensive historical account of the development of the Lutheran Church among Norwegian immigrants in the United States during the period leading up to 1872. Written by John Magnus Rohne, this book explores the factors that led to the establishment of Norwegian Lutheran congregations in America, as well as the challenges and opportunities that these early communities faced as they sought to build a new religious identity in a foreign land.Drawing on a range of primary sources, including church records, diaries, and personal letters, Rohne provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of the early Norwegian American Lutheran Church. He examines the role of key figures such as Lars Larsen and Claus Lauritz Clausen, who played a crucial role in organizing and shaping the new church, and explores the tensions and conflicts that emerged as different factions within the community sought to define their vision for Norwegian American Lutheranism.Throughout the book, Rohne highlights the ways in which the Norwegian American Lutheran Church reflected broader social and cultural trends in American society at the time. He also explores the ways in which the church helped to shape the identity and culture of Norwegian immigrants in America, providing a vital sense of community and belonging in an unfamiliar environment.Overall, ""Norwegian American Lutheranism Up To 1872"" is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the early history of one of America's most important religious communities. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of immigration, religion, and American culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
