About the author
Born in Detroit in 1872 and later active in several Midwestern and Southern church settings, Louis Balthaser Buchheimer built his career as a pastor, teacher, and religious author. Sources available here identify him as a Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod minister, with service in Memphis, St. Louis, and Detroit, and also note teaching roles at Concordia College in Conover, North Carolina, and Immanuel Lutheran College in Greensboro.
Buchheimer wrote widely in the field of Christian preaching and devotion. His books include Faith and Duty, Christian Warfare, Sermons on Romanism, Things New and Old, and Emblems in the Gospels, and library and archival listings suggest he was a steady presence in early-20th-century English-language Lutheran publishing.
He died in 1953 in St. Louis. While detailed biographical coverage appears limited online, the record that does survive points to a long life of ministry centered on sermons, pastoral work, and religious instruction.
