Henry F. (Henry Frey) Lutz

Henry F. Lutz, also identified in library records as Henry Frey Lutz, was born in 1868 and died in 1926. He is best known for To Infidelity and Back, a religious autobiography that follows his search for truth and his return to Christian faith after a period of deep uncertainty.

Available sources describe him as an evangelist, and later commentary on his life also places him in the world of theology and religious debate. His writing is closely tied to the Restoration Movement, and his best-known work stands out because it is both personal testimony and an argument for belief, shaped by his encounters with rationalism, doubt, and competing religious ideas.

Little widely available biographical detail survives, which makes the book itself the clearest window into his life and voice. For readers interested in spiritual autobiography, early 20th-century Protestant thought, or memoirs of belief tested by skepticism, his work remains a thoughtful and historically revealing read.
