Difficult to read. Produced by one of Myra Eve Bodling's grandfathers "American Lutheranism, Volume 2" by F. Bente is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the various Lutheran bodies in America, specifically detailing the formations, mergers, and doctrinal positions of the United Lutheran Church, General Synod, General Council, and the United Synod in the South. The work aims to provide a thorough understanding of these denominations and their theological perspectives amid the backdrop of American ecclesiastical history. At the start of the book, the author outlines the context and objectives of the volume, noting that it represents the second part in a planned series. The preface indicates that the subsequent volumes will cover the early history of Lutheranism in America and delve into other synods' histories, emphasizing facts relevant to the theological attitudes present across the Lutheran spectrum. Key historical transitions discussed include the merger of the General Synod with other bodies, the constitution forming the United Lutheran Church, and the varied reactions from different synods regarding this unification, including dissent rooted in doctrinal disagreements and societal influences like freemasonry. This foundation sets the stage for deeper exploration of American Lutheranism's complexities, doctrinal conflicts, and historical developments as the book progresses.
