Excerpt from Commentary on Genesis, Vol. 2It is no wonder that the United States Census of 1890, the latest reliable statistics on the subject, gave the number of Lutheran communicants using only English in this English land at General Synod United Synod South General Council Ohio Synod 287; Missouri Synod after 150 years of work. Our good German and Scandinavian parents, in the light of these figures, need not fear loosing many members to purely English churches. Reading Luther in German, Swedish, Norwegian and English will bring better results to old and young than if read only in one language. The Church of the Reformation is not one-tongued, but many tongued.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
