How were Rationalism and Unionism affecting the Lutheran church in Germany, and who was reacting in Saxony? We meet Martin Stephan and C.F.W. Walther, two significant characters in the story as Lutherans settle in Perry County, MO. How did Stephan become the leader, and what drama did he begin to have within the group?

Rev. Dr. Cameron A. MacKenzie, Professor of Historical Theology at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana, joins Andy and Sarah for our nine-episode series on the History of the LCMS. Find more from Dr. Mackenzie at video.ctsfw.edu.
