Who were the Haugeans, and what happened to them? Contemporary American Lutheranism is an amalgamation of various influences and ethnic traditions, yet the contributions and enduring identity of the Haugeans, a Norwegian sub-tradition known for their variety of pietistic expression, have received little attention from historians in the process of American Lutheran merger of the previous decades. This book takes a closer look at the Haugean tradition within American Lutheranism and its distinct emphases. Most importantly, it demonstrates how this group of Lutherans carried forward their tradition within larger organizations. Seeking to serve as positive spiritual leaven within the larger batch of dough of the Lutheran tradition, the leaven of Haugeanism was not universally appreciated, causing for some pain in the belly upon consumption of this dough.

Pastoral Care Under the Cross is a practical guide for pastors who visit the sick and who generally shepherd the flock of God. Eyer is a former chaplain and pastor with much experience in this area of ministry. Probably the most helpful aspect of this book is the practical examples he gives from his own experience. Through his “stories,” he communicates what pastoral ministry looks like, very raw with emotion, and real problems. This book will be especially helpful to those pastors beginning the pastoral ministry.
—Dr. James Molstre

We live in a post-Christian world. Contemporary thought—claiming to be “progressive” and “liberating”—attempts to place human beings in God’s role as creator, lawgiver, and savior. But these post-Christian ways of thinking and living are running into dead ends and fatal contradictions.

This timely book demonstrates how the Christian worldview stands firm in a world dedicated to constructing its own knowledge, morality, and truth.
