The Lutherans of New York, Their Story and Their Problems

"The Lutherans of New York, Their Story and Their Problems" by George Unangst Wenner recounts the beginnings of the Lutheran churches in New York City and their experiences as they worked to grow. The book journeys back to the 1640s, describing the difficulties the early Lutherans experienced when trying to establish their churches in the face of opposition from other religions, but they were able to hold on to their faith. It mentions important people and times, such as when different churches were started and how ministers were brought in during restrictive times under Dutch and English rule, as well as setting up the stage for the changes as the churches went through immigration and modernization.
