What are Lutherans and what do they believe?

Answer 1

I got this from google. If you type in "define:" (without the quotes) in google, it will return a definition:

of or pertaining to Martin Luther or his teachings; "the Lutheran doctrine of justification by faith alone"

of or pertaining to or characteristic of the branch of the Protestant Church adhering to the views of Luther; "Lutheran doctrines"

The Lutheran movement is a group of denominations of Protestant Christianity by the original definition. See Protestantism for further discussion.
