"Containing historical, biographical, and religious memoirs, with essays on the doctrines of Luther, and practical remarks and anecdotes, for the edification of pious persons of all denominations.
The author's primary purpose is to describe the precise nature of American Lutheran Pietism and to discern its proper place in the history of Lutheranism. The book examines leaders like Philip Spencer, August Franke, and Samuel Simon Schmucker. The author also explores the complexities of whether the Lutheran Church in antebellum America would support antislavery positions like gradual emancipation or the immediacy of abolition.
