[2020-10-11: fixed 1 download link]

     This continues from Part 20 (Table of Contents in Part 3), a series presenting an English translation of Pastor Christian Hochstetter's 1885 496-page book entitled (abbreviated) The History of the Missouri Synod, 1838-1884. — Up to now this book has been serialized by chapter. This post now presents a full complement of downloads for the full text content of both languages, German and English.

Advantages of digital electronic copy:

• Fully hyperlinked for ease of navigation from any page.
• Hundreds of reference hyperlinks for further information on a subject/person.
• Instant searching for words, subjects, persons, places, etc. (although there is no index - yet)
• Each page corresponds exactly to the original German page so that references can be made to the same page in both the German book and this corresponding English translation.
• Added many items to Table of Contents for each chapter to enable quick reference to each major topic within the chapter.
• Jump links at "Top" for every interval of 10 pages.
