Power Politics and the Missouri Synod available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Power, Politics, and the Missouri Synod follows the rise of two Lutheran clergymen - Herman Otten and J. A. O. Preus - who led different wings of a conservative movement that seized control of a theologically conservative but socially and politically moderate church denomination (LCMS) and drove "moderates" from the church in the 1970s. The schism within what was then one of the largest Protestant denominations in the United States ultimately reshaped the landscape of American Lutheranism and fostered the polarization that characterizes today's Lutheran churches.

Preus of Missouri and the Great Lutheran Civil War available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "When J.A.O. Preus was elected President of the three-million-member Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod in 1969, he was virtually unknown outside his own denomination. Most observers were surprised and even the experts did not know what to expect. What they got was a headline-making dispute between Preus and John Tietjen, head of the Synod's prestigious Concordia Seminary; a seminary-in-exile training ministers without official sanction; and finally a Lutheran civil war that has divided congregations and even members of the same family."--Book jacket.

This book was released on 2000. Authority Vested available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
