The Augustana Story by Maria Erling and Mark Granquist tells the history of the Augustana Lutheran Church from its beginnings to its entrance into the wider Lutheran family and its impact there up to the present day. The book gives coverage to major events, personalities, movements, and institutions. But it also gives readers a feel for what it was like to grow up in the Augustana tradition. The authors, who are professors of church history at the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg and Luther Seminary at St. Paul, respectively, draw upon letters and archival materials never before used to tell the story.
