Overview

Since the colonial era, the United States has proved fertile soil for the growth of new theological ideas and religious movements. In this volume, five authors survey some of the Christian denominations that have developed or thrived in the United States. D. Berger details the history of the United Brethren of Christ, the first denomination to be birthed on American soil. B. B. Tyler surveys the Disciples of Christ—the predecessor to the Restoration movement led by Thomas Campbell and Barton Stone. In their treatment of Quaker history, Allen C. Thomas and Richard H. Thomas highlight the persecution faced by the Society of Friends and their progressive views on slavery, war, and other social issues. Finally, Samuel P. Spreng tells the story of the Evangelical Association, a movement with roots in Methodism.
