The Presbyterian Story: Origins & Progress of a Reformed Tradition 2nd Edition

Being Presbyterian involves multiple layers of identity and connection. As Christians Presbyterians are catholic sharing the common heritage of ancient Christianity with all believers of all times in all places. Presbyterians are Protestant by conviction sharing the rich spiritual heritage of the sixteenth century and the unique contributions of the Reformed Tradition. Historically Presbyterians are also part of the evangelical movement embracing the legacy of the eighteenth-century revivals (awakenings) in America and Britain. Each of these historic layers is equally important to Presbyterian identity and this book will seek to underscore that reality.
