The Mission And Ministry To German-Speaking Lutherans In Western Canada 1879 - 1914, Richard Kraemer
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The following dissertation will provide a detailed account of the history of Lutheran ministry among German-speaking people in western Canada from1879 to 1914. Particular attention will be drawn to the relationship between the development of congregations in the region and the views on mission and ministry that were being held by those who were most involved in the work—the pastors themselves and the leaders of the mission boards who supported them. Their work in western Canada did not, however, begin in a vacuum; it was begun within an historical context. Relevant, therefore, to this study will be a brief review …

Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton Rudnick
Fundamentalism And The Missouri Synod, Milton Rudnick
Doctor of Theology Dissertation
The conclusion of this study is that Fundamentalism and the Missouri Synod were not related closely enough for either to exert major influence upon the other. Basic factors in the background of each group kept them at a distance from one another, and, while their paths were often parallel, they never actually converged. The relationship was, for the most part, cordial, but never intimate, with the result that there was no important interchange of ideas and attitudes.

When they looked back not only to the founding of the Synod in 1847 in Chicago but also to the emigration from Germany and settlement in this country, they saw that the Lord had been gracious to them, and that He had led them through numerous difficulties and over many obstacles to …
