This study addresses presenting law and gospel to recovering Lutheran alcoholics in the Twelve Step program of Alcoholics Anonymous. The Twelve Steps offer a spirituality which has often caused confusion along confessional Lutherans. Methodology involved interviewing Lutheran alcoholics, non-alcoholic Lutherans and clergy. The Twelve Steps were evaluated according to law and gospel. A brief study of the influence of American civil religion and two kingdom theology gave a backdrop in which to place the Twelve Steps. Practical ways in which pastors and congregations could better minister to recovering Luthern alcoholics were included.
