A Basic Bibliography on Lutherans in North America

(Taken from Mark Granquist, Lutherans in America: A New History. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 2013, and used by permission).

Historical Guides, Reference Works, and Bibliographies

Robert C. Wiederaenders, ed., Historical Guide to Lutheran Church Bodies of North America. Second Edition. Lutheran Historical Conference Publication 1, St. Louis: Lutheran Historical Conference, 1998.

This reference work is indispensable as a guide to American Lutheran history, giving the historical outlines of its institutional formation. Includes bibliography, maps, charts, and texts. A first edition of this work by the same editor is entitled The Synods of American Lutheranism.

Susan Wilds McArver, “Lutherans,” in Philip Goff, ed., Blackwell Companion to American Religion. Malden MA: Wiley Blackwell, 2010, pp. 614-35.

A detailed and very helpful historiographical essay on the writing of American Lutheran history, with an extended bibliography of sources at its end. Extremely useful, especially because it is relatively current.

Encyclopedias and Reference works

A standard resource, especially good for the breadth of its coverage

A very current and useful reference book

Erwin L. Lueker, Lutheran Cyclopedia. St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1975.

Another very useful single volume reference. Entries are not lengthy but can be very helpful for basic details. Also online as the “Christian Cyclopedia” - http://cyclopedia.lcms.org/

Günther Gassmann, Historical Dictionary of Lutheranism. 2nd edition. Lanham MD: Scarecrow Press, 2011.

Has some decent entries, but is limited and in places inaccurate

Almanacs and Directories

These kinds of works, which have been issued in various forms from the middle of the nineteenth century, can be very useful for locating congregations and individuals, as well as other important information. Two notable versions of this genre are:

Helen M. Knubel, Lutheran Church Directory for the United States and Canada. New York: National Lutheran Council (later by the Lutheran Council in the USA).

G.L. Kieffer, et all, eds., The Lutheran World Almanac. New York: National Lutheran Council. Volume 1, 1920, through volume 8, 1937.

Journals and Periodicals

Lutheran Quarterly. New series since 1987; previous series 1948-1976. Older series also valuable

Journal of the Lutheran Historical Conference. Since 2011; replaces-

Essays and Reports of the Lutheran Historical Conference. Biennial, 22 volumes, 1966-2006.

Concordia Historical Institute Quarterly.

Wisconsin Lutheran Quarterly.

Sourcebooks and Readers

2

Richard C. Wolf, ed. Documents of Lutheran Unity in America. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1966.

Best anthology of official documents and other materials

Carl S. Meyer, ed., Moving Frontiers: Readings in the History of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1964.

August Suelflow, ed., Heritage in Motion. St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1988.

Two volumes covering the history of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod

Biographies

There is no good standard collection of Lutheran biographies available. There are many places to go for American Lutheran biographies, however, especially synodical histories, alumni volumes (especially for the Luther seminaries), and other regional and localized historical works. The encyclopedias and references books listed above are also generally good in this area.

J.C. Jensson (sometimes Roseland), American Lutheran Biographies. Milwaukee: n.p, 1890.

Helpful for Lutheran pastors in the eighteenth and nineteenth-centuries. Ira O. Nothstein, Lutheran Makers of America: Brief Sketches of Sixty-eight Notable Early Lutherans. Philadelphia: United Lutheran Publication House, 1930.

Helpful for colonial Lutheranism, both lay and clergy

General Histories

E. Clifford Nelson, ed., The Lutherans in North America. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1975.

The standard history on the subject, especially good on the institutional history.

Wentz, Abdel Ross, A Basic History of Lutheranism in America. Revised edition, Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1964.

Prior to Nelson the standard history, still very useful.

L. DeAne Lagerquist, The Lutheran. “Denominations in America, Number 9,” Westport CT: Greenwood Press, 1999.

An excellent interpretative history, though not as detailed as Nelson or Wentz. Hard- cover edition has a fine biography section in the back.
