From book jacket:
The life of Erland Carlsson (1822-1893), immigrant pastor and Augustana Lutheran Synod leader, was fashioned by his pietistic family home in Älghult parish, Kronobergs län, Sweden, it was enriched by the evangelical läsare movement, and it was deepened intellectually by his theological studies at Lund University.
