About this book
American Lutheranism, Volume I, is subtitled Early History of American Lutheranism and The Tennessee Synod, by F. Bente. The preface says that Christianity is the special divine faith in the truth revealed by the Bible that we are saved, not by our own efforts, works, or merits, but alone by the pure and unmerited grace of God. The preface says the history of Christianity and of the Christian Church is essentially the record concerning this truth. The text says that, in order to present a united political front to the Pope and the Emperor, Zwingli, in 1529, offered Luther the hand of fellowship in spite of doctrinal differences.
The text says that in 1788 fifteen German congregations were incorporated in the State of South Carolina, nine of them being Lutheran and six Reformed or United. The text says that when the second edition of the Book of Concord appeared, Walther wrote: We thank God for the unspeakable blessing which He has conferred upon the Church of our adopted fatherland.
