A Religious-Cultural Mosaic: A History of Lutherans in Canada

by Norman J. Threinen

A History of Lutherans in Canada - Lutherans in Canada - Origins, Contributions, and History. - People, Places, Events - A comprehensive text with index and sources. In the face of two dominant founding European powers who generally determined the political, religious and cultural direction of events, Lutherans are often overlooked in writings on Canadian history. Yet the ethnic groups in Canada in which Lutherans have been historically dominant were not only present from earliest days in Canada but also experienced their own unique historical development as they attempted to carry out their mission and ministry. In A RELIGIOUS-CULTURAL MOSAIC, A History of Lutherans in Canada, which was thirty years in the writing, professor Norman Threinen identifies the nature and location of Lutheran ethnic groupings as well as their early struggles to maintain their identity.
