Bernheim had been pastor of Lutheran churches in both Carolinas for many years, and in writing his book had access to the records of all existing Lutheran churches and synods. Although a carefully prepared book, it can not always be blindly followed, for Bernheim's connection with the Lutheran denomination led him to claim too many Reformed churches as Lutheran, while his knowledge of early Carolina history was apparently obtained from secondary sources of doubt. ful value. Other books containing an account of Lutherans in South Carolina are: Wolf's Lutherans in America; Schaeffer's Lutheran Church in America; Hazelius' History of the American Lutheran Church; Jacobs's History of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United States; Stoever's Sketch of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
