History and Aims in the AFLC with Dr. Martin horn-Part 2

This seminar will survey both the history of the AFLC as well as its particular concerns and emphases. The first half of the seminar will examine the history of the AFLC as well as its historical roots in Norway and in the United States. The seminar will pay attention to Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal, the founders of the Lutheran Free Church movement in America.
The second half of the seminar will focus on the particular emphases and concerns of the AFLC. These lectures will include, but will not be limited to the issues of the inerrancy of Scripture, the AFLC’s Lutheran and confessional position, its “low-church” emphasis, and personal piety. This part of the seminar will focus particularly on Georg Sverdrup’s theology of the local congregation and his concept of “free and living Congregations.”
