Georg Sverdrup: Educator, Theologian, Churchman

Price range: $9.00 through $18.00

This book is a comprehensive biography about Georg Sverdrup. He was an important founder of the Lutheran Free Church. The basis of his idea was to create a local fellowship of believers within a church body in which such inhibiting factors as church hierarchy, clerical dominance, and secular law would no longer be problems.
