Welcome Zach! 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!
