Summary "The Lutherans of New York, Their Story and Their Problems" by George Unangst Wenner is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the development of the Lutheran community in New York City, exploring both their historical journey and the challenges they faced as a religious group within a rapidly changing metropolis. The opening of the book outlines the early struggles of Lutherans in New York, depicting their perseverance in establishing a church presence amidst opposition from other religious factions. Wenner highlights key events and figures, such as the establishment of various congregations and the introduction of ministers despite heavy restrictions, particularly during the Dutch and English periods. From the 1640s onward, the narrative begins with the community's foundational history and the continuous efforts made over centuries to maintain their faith in a diverse city, setting the stage for the complexities and transformations that the Lutheran Church would undergo in the face of immigration and modernization.
