  • The Religious Development of the Early German Settlers in "Greater Pennsylvania": the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia*
    The Religious Development of the Early German Settlers In "Greater Pennsylvania": The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia* John B. Frantz The Pennsylvania State University Introduction Throughout much of the eighteenth century, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia was the frontier. The first Europeans to settle there came from colonies to the north. They had the opportunity to create new culture in this sparsely inhabited area. Most of the Indians had aban- doned it, and Europeans from the Tidewater had not yet spread their plantations that far west. The Valley was an ideal location for innova- tion. Nevertheless, the early settlers brought with them their religious heritage and developed patterns and institutions for their spiritual nur- ture that were remarkably similar to those that they had known in their previous homes. Historiography Study of the religious development of the early German settlers has been underway for more than a century and a half One of the first accounts appeared in Samuel Kercheval's 1833 History of the Valley of Virginia.' A more detailed description is contained in John W Way- 1. Samuel Kercheval, The History of the Valley of Virginia 4th ed.

  • HISTORY MINUTE Presented by Edward Spannus
    HISTORY MINUTE Presented by Edward Spannus September 6, 2015 New Jerusalem’s Venture into “American Lutheranism” Today, we continue with the Civil War period, although we will be discussing a controversy that had little if anything to do with the war. From September 5 to 12, 1867, New Jerusalem hosted the annual convention of the Melanchthon Synod, of which it was a member at the time. To my knowledge, this was the only synodical convention ever held in Lovettsville—although the Virginia Synod had scheduled its 1861 convention to take place here, but it didn’t happen because of the Civil War. The Melanchthon Synod was an expression of “American Lutheranism,” sometimes also called “neo-Lutheranism.” This was a modification of traditional Lutheranism, which (as A.R. Wentz put it), “sought to adapt Lutheranism to American soil by divesting it of its distinctive traits and making it conform to the average American type of religion.” The advocates of “American Lutheranism” were a small but highly-influential group, led by Dr. Benjamin Kurtz (the editor of the Lutheran Observer), Samuel Schmucker (the President of Gettysburg Seminary), and Samuel Sprecher (a protegee of Schmucker who was the head of Wittenberg College in Ohio.) It also was an expression of the tensions between the 18th century immigrants (largely Palatine Germans), and the wave of immigration which resumed about 1830 (Saxony Germans, other eastern Europeans, and Scandinavians) of a more conservative bent. This tension resulted in a growing confessionalism (strict adherence to the three basic confessions (Nicene, Apostles, and Athanasian) and especially the “unaltered” Augsburg Confession—which the neo-Lutherans were willing to modify or discard all together.

  • September Luther Studies: the Prefaces to the Large Catechism (In the Book of Concord, Ed
    September Luther Studies: The Prefaces to the Large Catechism (in The Book of Concord, ed. Wengert and Kolb, pp. 379-86) Introduction by: Dr. Paul Hinlicky, Tise Professor of Lutheran Studies, Roanoke College & Docent, Evanjelicka Bohoslovecka Fakulta, Univerzita Komenskeho, Bratislava, Slovakia. ELCA Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton has asked that we make 2016 the “year of the catechism.” Accordingly, Virginia Synod Bishop James Mauney has asked that as we approach the anniversary year of 2017 our 8 monthly Luther studies in 2015-16 focus on Luther’s Large Catechism. This is a text which became foundational in the Lutheran theological tradition by its incorporation into the 1580 Book of Concord.[1] 1 The word, catechism, denotes the pedagogy of “learning by repetition.” We make fun nowadays of leaning by repetition; we call it learning “by rote” and dismiss it as mindless drudgery. For many of us older ones, it brings back unhappy, even painful memories of memorization: of multiplication tables, of the Table of Periodic Elements, of conjugations of verbs or declensions of nouns in foreign languages, and so on. How much more exciting to learn by experience, to experience new things and forget the old! Yet, learning by repetition is the very process of habituation that the ancients called paideia; it was a holistic form of training mind, desire and bodily behavior under a mentor, much as athletes still train today under coaches. If the scholars are right, this was also the form of learning in the rabbinic schools, where pupils were also disciples, as reflected in the memorization of Jesus’ sayings among of disciples at the earliest, oral stage of Christian tradition.
