This book provides a history of Presbyterians in American culture
from the early eighteenth to the late twentieth century. Longfield
assesses both the theological and cultural development of American
Presbyterianism, with particular focus on the mainline tradition
that is expressed most prominently in the Presbyterian Church
(U.S.A.). He explores how Presbyterian churches--and individuals
rooted in those churches--influenced and were influenced by the
values, attitudes, perspectives, beliefs, and ideals assumed by
Americans in the course of American history. The book will serve as
an important introduction to Presbyterian history that will
interest historians, students, and church leaders alike.
Longfield explores a bitter theological controversy that wracked the Presbyterian Church in the 1920s and 30s. By examining the lives and thought of six of the major protagonists he seeks to provide a fuller understanding of the religious and cultural issues in the struggle.
