The American Lutheran Church, Historically, Doctrinally and Practically Delineated, in Several Occasional Discourses: by S.s. Schmucker ...

In offering this work to the public, it is proper that some of the considerations which have actuated the publishers, should be stated. The title itself is significant of the subject on which it treats. The true history, real character, present position, and distinctive features of the Lutheran Church in the world, are little known, often misunderstood, and sometimes grossly misrepresented in this country. A mong the causes which may be assigned for this, we mention the want of a proper knowledge of Church History in general, and of Protestantism in particular; non-acquaintance with the German language, and, it is to be feared, denominational bigotry.
