How many different types of Lutheranism are there?
One. The basis for doctrine is the same in all Lutheran jurisdictions an "synods." Some issues of difference arise amongst them along lines of "liberal" and "conservative" interpretations and applications of Biblical studies and of the Lutheran symbolical writings. In Australia, as in the US, there is just one Synod. However, there are a few scattered "breakaway" Lutheran churches whose differences exclude them from the common synod. Prior to 1966, there were two distinct synods in Australia.

Is a Lutheran a priest or Pastor?
Both. American Lutherans usually call their clerics "pastor." It is also common, while a little less common, for Lutheran a cleric to be called a "priest." In the European Lutheran countries, the term "priest" is almost always used to refer to the office while "Pastor" and "Father" are both common titles of respect (and "Mother" where the ordination of women is allowed.) "Pastor" means shepherd and refers to the all-encompassing nature of ministry and spiritual counsel. "Priest" tends to refer to the cleric's role as presider over sacraments, declarer of absolution and religious teacher of scripture and Church doctrine. So, both are appropriate. It depends on the country. The Lutheran churches of Scandinavia seem to use both "priest" and "pastor". However, in Australia and New Zealand, the term "priest" is never used, nor is "Father", but instead the term "Pastor" is used. "Priest" and "Pastor" are only used in reference to the Roman Catholic and the High Anglican churches. The formal name with the Lutheran church is "Reverend". Thus, one could refer to "Pastor Smith", "Reverend Smith" or even say "Reverend Smith is my pastor". The generic term is also "minister", i.e. a minister within the Lutheran church.

What Bible do Lutherans use?
The two largest Lutheran church groups in the United States are the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS). Each of these groups publishes a Lutheran Study Bible through their respective publishing arms, Augsburg Fortress for the ELCA and Concordia for the LCMS.The ELCA Lutheran Study Bible uses the National Council of Churches' New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) translation, and the LCMS uses Crossway Bibles' English Standard Version (ESV) translation. Both of these translations are derived from the National Council of Churches' Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation, as updated in 1971.The ESV is somewhat more conservative than the NRSV, and was adopted by the LCMS as the official Bible text for the Lutheran Service Book, the most recent hymnal and liturgy for the LCMS and the Lutheran Church - Canada (LCC). The equivalent book for the ELCA and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) is Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
Why is the body of Jesus not on the crosses in the Lutheran Church?
He often is.Actually, it is common in Lutheran churches to have one of the following over the altar:1. a cross (without Jesus)2. a crucifix (with the crucified Jesus)3. a Cristus (the risen, triumphant Jesus)4. an altar painting with a significant image of Jesus' life5. a cross including the risen "cristus"The only concern is that the altar image directs the worshiper to Jesus, his life, sacrafice and triumph. In congregations that could not afford expensive art, because they were usually poor immigrants, a cross was a simple, inexpensive and humble answer. In the Lutheran European countries, elaborate crucifixes and exquisite paintings are far more common than the simple cross.
What was common in churches in the south?
members of a church were of the same social class
What is the difference between Lutheran and Methodist social issues?
I hate to split hairs here but there are 3 major sects of the Lutheran Church in the United States: the Evangelical Lutheran Church; the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod; and the Lutheran Church Wisconsin Synod. The latter 2 are by far much more conservative than the Evangelical Lutherans. The latter 2 are opposed to gay ordination and allowing gays to marry in the church. They are much more fundamentalist especially when it comes to the Bible. The Evangelical Lutherans share much in common with the United Methodists. The one area where they are more progressive is in the realm of gay marriage and all that. The UMC are much more split on this issue. The ELCA has already voted to allow their pastors who are gay to marry. They are also close to allowing gays to marrry in the church. The ELCA can be described as a pro-life rather than a pro-choice denomination. The United Methodists have always taken a pro-choice position on reproductive rights. The ELCA and the United Methodist Churches are also in full communion since 2008. Both can share the pulpit and celebrate Holy Communion in each other's churches. In the Missouri and Wisconsin Synods, that is still not possible. These two branches have more in common with the evangelical branch of Protestanism, like the Baptists.
