Book Description
Excerpt from The American Journal of Theology, 1920, Vol. 24 American Christianity is remarkably homogeneous. The churches have so grown to represent a common type that what is the regarding any Protestant communion in the United States is measurably true of all. The same tendencies are everywhere at work. NO body Of American Christians which claims the adhesion of any considerable portion of our population is unafiected by the spirit of our national intellectual, political, and economic life. The general difiusion of popular intelligence, the steady trend toward democracy, and the growing significance of questions of social justice have influenced the life and outlook of all our churches and have produced changes in emphasis that, though dificult to estimate on any statistical scale, are abundantly evident. None of the American Protestant churches stand where they did a generation ago. All are striving to adapt their methods to the needs of the altered age in which we live. While much that could be said of any denomination is therefore true of all, the group known as the Congregational churches has a historic unity and a present corporate life that makes a special consideration of existing conditions and tendencies not unfitting, and constitutes the subject of this review.
