Title: Useful if understood as a piece of propoganda
Review: The book is illustrative of an all too common approach in Lutheran theology of the late 20th and early 21st centuries that is driven more by humanist and postmodern approaches rather than faith or trust in the value of the Word of God as it stands in its literal meaning. It is useful reading for one seeking to understand how liberal contemporary theologians seeks to frame religious and church history so as to accomplish transformation more in line with the new ethic rather than the praxis that is more in line with a trust of the literal Scripture. In no way should this book be considered an objective or empirical exposition of the history of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod nor a faithful exposition of what the Scripture says in its own objective voice.
