Morphology
The phrase’s meaning is directly derivable from combining Lutheran (pertaining to the teachings/church of Martin Luther) with beliefs (religious principles), yielding 'the religious principles of Lutheranism.' This adjectival + noun composition is a straightforward and cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase Lutheran beliefs comes from Martin Luther, a German priest in the 1500s who spoke against some church rules and taught new religious ideas. Because Lutheran names his followers and beliefs means 'teachings', Lutheran beliefs means the religious 'teachings' that follow Martin Luther's views.
