In addition to presenting the rather ponderous nineteenth- century Dano-Norwegian style used by Preus in a readable and accurate English rendering, Todd W. Nichol provides a thoroughgoing introductory essay that places the lectures in the context of theological controversy in the Norwegian-American community and within the religious traditions of America. With a fresh and insightful approach Nichol documents a persistent influence of Norwegian-American Lutheran orthodoxy and piety on American Lutheranism from the pioneer days until the present time and thereby demonstrates the vigor of the Lutheran tradition Preus and his fellow believers sustained and advocated as the only pure doctrine of their faith. By inference the situation described in the present volume becomes a commentary on the process of the transfer on immigrant cultures in general.
