The development of the denomination The Lutheran branch of Protestantism is one of the oldest Protestant denominations that came about as a result of the Reformation movement in Western Europe in the 16th century. It is based on the principles of [|Martin Luther], a German monk and professor who has been called the "Father of the Reformation." It is interesting to note that Martin Luther opposed the designation of his name for the religion. Luther struggled with the contradictions he saw between the Bible and some of the practices of the Catholic church. He fought to reform the church by exposing its corruption and abuses. It was never his intent to divide the church, but his efforts toward reform proved to be fruitless and eventually he was excommunicated. He continued to spread his teachings despite threats to his life. Although Luther strongly opposed many aspects of Catholicism, he continued to embrace any practices of the church that did not directly contradict the scriptures. As a result, Lutheran churches today tend to reflect the appearance and atmosphere of Catholic churches. In the 17th century, Lutherans from Germany and Scandinavia began to migrate to the United States, bringing their culture and faith with them. Lutheranism is known for its emphasis on education, and therefore, today many Lutheran schools, colleges, and seminaries exist throughout the world.

The basic beliefs
 * Lutheran Beliefs **
 * Lutherans believe in one true God  ** Lutherans share the belief of all other Christians that the one true God has made himself known as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
 * Lutherans believe that God loves all people  ** Lutherans believe that God loves every human being, even though none of us deserve his love.
 * Lutherans believe in Jesus Christ  ** Jesus Christ is God's Son. Because he loves the world, God sent his Son Jesus to make things right between God and us. Jesus took the blame for the sins of all people. Jesus died for everybody. Jesus also broke the power of death by becoming alive again.
 * Lutherans believe God's forgiveness is a free gift  ** Because of Jesus, God has forgiven all sins of all people. God offers his forgiveness to everyone as a free gift. We don't have to earn God's forgiveness or pay for it. It is ours when we believe in Jesus as our Saviour. God offers us his forgiveness in the good news about Jesus, and in baptism and holy communion.
 * Lutherans believe what the Bible says  ** The Bible is the word of God. So Lutherans accept the Bible as the authority that decides what they are to believe and how they should live. Lutherans believe that the good news about Jesus is the key to the whole Bible.
