The Organizational Revolution: Presbyterians and American Denominationalism (The Presbyterian Presence)

This book addresses the organizational character of American religious history and points to a tentative but significant conclusion: The Presbyterian Church has been undergoing an organizational revolution and the roots of this revolution seem to have preceded the dramatic membership decline that began in the mid-1960s.Through its examination of American Presbyterianism the Presbyterian Presence series illuminates patterns of change in mainstream Protestantism and American religious and cultural life in the twentieth century.
