Vivacious Daughter

Price range: $7.50 through $15.00

Vivacious Daughter is a skillful and well annotated translation of Preus’s “Seven Lectures.” In addition to presenting the rather ponderous nineteenth-century Dano-Norwegian style used by Preus in a readable and accurate English rendering, Todd W. Nichol provides a thoroughgoing introductory essay that places the lectures in the context of theological controversy in the Norwegian-American community and within the religious traditions of America.
