Since you are new to the ring, Ahem , ah, madhou... kaff, kaff, ah, um... denomination,  may I be so bold as to recommend three books: A Summary Of Christian Doctrine By: Edward W.A. Koehler Spirituality Of The Cross By: Gene Edward Veith, Jr. And lastly that tome of Lutheranism (heavy reading here ): Book Of Concord These will give you a strong understanding of Lutheran doctrine, theology and some of the early the history of our Denomination. Definately most of the whys and wherefores. Welcome!
