This volume examines one of the church's largest denominations, its place in the current landscape of American Christianity, and the directions in which it is heading in the new millennium. Lutherans Today presents new and original research on the many challenges that Lutherans face in maintaining their identity in twenty-first-century pluralistic society at large. Chapters chronicle various movements and groups impacting American Lutheranism and offer predictions concerning issues and aspects of church life that promise to reshape the communion in the years ahead.
