Lutheranism in America
The Practice of Pietism in America
October 2017
In honor of the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's now infamous posting of his 95 Theses, or articles of opposition to certain doctrines and practices of the Catholic Church in 1517, this month we focus on Lutherans in America. In particular, we wish to draw attention to the pietistic strand of the tradition and its influence on the development of our national religious vernacular.
