This review is from: The Shaping of American Congregationalism 1620-1957 (Paperback)
For those studying how the Christian Church developed in America this book is an valuable tool. It is a concise historical account of the d3evelopment of congregationalism in America up to the 1950's. The book ends with the formation of a new congregational denomination that was the union of various other older religious institutions that traced their history back to the Mayflower Pilgrims.
