This book is drier than week old Thanksgiving turkey. The author obviously knows the subject, but it's simply not written in a way that makes one even want to force themselves to finish it. And I'm used to reading "boring" academic writing. For an introduction to Lutheran church history and doctrine, there's got to be a better read than this out thtere.

Learned a lot about Lutheranism and how today's version isn't exactly what Luther had in mind, but that it still maintains core beliefs of salvation even if individual church policy has ventured away from the original Augsburg Confession and other big theology of the day.
