Synopsis Luther's Liturgical Music by : Robin A. Leaver

Martin Luther's relationship to music has been largely downplayed, yet music played a vital role in Luther's life -- and he in turn had a deep and lasting effect on Christian hymnody. In Luther's Liturgical Music Robin Leaver comprehensively explores these connections. Replete with tables, figures, and musical examples, this volume is the most extensive study on Luther and music ever published. Leaver's work makes a formidable contribution to Reformation studies, but worship leaders, musicians, and others will also find it an invaluable, very readable resource.

Synopsis Authority Vested by : Mary Todd

Like other major Protestant denominations in the United States, the 2.6-million-member Luther Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), founded in 1847, has struggled with issues of relevance and identity in society at large. In this book Mary Todd chronicles the history of this struggle for identity in the LCMS, critically examining the central--often contentious--issue of authority in relation to Scripture, ministry, and the role of women in the church. In recounting the history of the denomination, Todd uses the ministry of women as a case study to show how the LCMS has continually redefined its concept of authority in order to maintain its own historic identity. Based on oral histories and solid archival research, Authority Vested not only explores the internal life of a significant denomination but also offers critical insights for other churches seeking to maintain their Christian distinctives in religiously pluralistic America.

Synopsis Contented among Strangers by : Linda Schelbitzki Pickle

German-Americans make up one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States, yet their very success at assimilating has also made them one of the least visible. Contented among Strangers examines the central role German-speaking women in rural areas of the Midwest played in preserving their ethnic and cultural identity. Even while living far from their original homelands, these women applied traditional European patterns of rural family life and values to their new homes in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. As a result they were more content with their modest lives than were their Anglo-American counterparts. Through personal recollections--including interesting diary material translated by the author, church and community documents, and migration and census data--Pickle reveals the diversity and richness of the women's experiences.

Synopsis Seminex in Print by : David O. Berger

"In this bibliography, David O. Berger, longtime librarian at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, catalogs the published materials produced in the immediate context of the conflict within the Missouri Synod in the 1960s and '70s. Mr. Berger has painstakingly surveyed the extensive literature, organized it in a usable fashion, and thereby opened a window into the materials surrounding the conflict and the various interpretations that were offered by people affected by the events of this difficult period. Citations frequently include related matters-theological and practical, previous and subsequent-that cannot be divorced from the main events and people involved in 1974"--
