Questions

- What parallels are there between the difficulties of Christians today and the Christians of the early church?
- Why is it helpful for us to think of our church and ourselves as being connected to the early church?
- What lessons can we learn from the medieval church?
- Tell us about the rise of American Lutheranism.
- You write that “Lutheranism offers the kind of Christianity that best speaks to the spiritual issues of today.” Why is this?
