À propos de l'auteur

Wilhelm Loehe was a prominent 19th-century Lutheran pastor and theologian known for his significant contributions to the church and the development of liturgical practices. He played a crucial role in the revival of the Lutheran Church in America and was instrumental in establishing the first Lutheran congregations in the Midwest. Loehe's work emphasized a return to traditional liturgical practices and the importance of prayer in the life of the church. His writings, including 'Seed-Grains of Prayer,' reflect his deep commitment to fostering a rich spiritual life among believers.

In addition to his pastoral duties, Loehe was a prolific author and educator, influencing a generation of Lutheran leaders. He founded the Mission Society in Neuendettelsau, which aimed to support missionary work, particularly in North America. His legacy continues through the theological institutions and congregations that adhere to the principles he championed. Loehe's impact on Lutheranism is still felt today, as his emphasis on liturgy and prayer remains integral to many Lutheran communities.
