Die Lutheraner in Amerika by Edmund Jakob Wolf, 1891 First German Edition

Die Lutheraner in Amerika by Edmund Jakob Wolf is a German-language history of Lutheranism in America, translated or adapted into German by Joh. Nicum. Published by J. A. Hill & Co. in New York in 1891, this first German edition offers a nineteenth-century account of Lutheran faith, migration, church growth, and religious life in the United States.

The book examines the experiences of Lutheran communities as they established congregations, schools, traditions, and identities in a changing American setting. Its German text reflects the importance of language and heritage among immigrant Lutheran readers of the period.

A meaningful title for collectors of church history, German-American books, Lutheran studies, and nineteenth-century religious publishing, this edition carries both historical and cultural interest. It is especially suited to readers researching Protestant history, immigrant communities, or early Lutheran life in America.

Translated to German by Joh. Nicum
