Short entries cover Lutherans, Calvinists, Hopkinsians, Arians, Socinians, Presbyterians, Episcopalians and many smaller groups, quoting their own statements, with church statistics and biographical sketches added.
A snapshot of antebellum American religious variety, invaluable for historians and genealogists tracing a forgotten denomination. Download the free EPUB.
