Some of us read denominational histories the way others read memoirs. We are tremendously curious to learn how institutions developed, and the more granular the better. José David Rodríguez’s Caribbean Lutherans: The History of the Church in Puerto Rico does not disappoint. It will sit on my shelves alongside other influential denominational histories like E. Clifford Nelson’s The Lutheran Church among Norwegian Americans and Early Lutheran Activities in the Ozarks by Homer A. Stevens.
