Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Century of Congregationalism, or the Influence on Church and State of the Faith and Polity of the Pilgrim Fathers The present year is fruitful in historical studies and it ibecomes those who to-day represent the Pilgrim faith and polity, to estimate afresh their value, as the traces of their 'power shall be found in the events of the century just closed. At the birth of our nation, in 1776 - a little over a century and a half from the landing of the Pilgrims - it is supposed that the Congregational Churches numbered about seven hundred, with not quite so large a number of ministers. No statistics exist of the communicants, but they could scarcely have averaged over one hundred to a church, making seventy thousand in all. It is a simple thing to turn to the carefully prepared statistical tables of the Congregational Quarterly, and ascertain our present strength, which is as follows: Churches, ministers, 3, 300; membership, 338, 313. This indicates an increase of not quite five fold. The increase is moderate, at best, while it falls far behind that of other denominations which have been running the race at our side. It will do us good to study a little into this phenomenon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length treatment of its topic, this study is aimed at abolishing the old cliche that Congregationalism failed to adapt to the democratizing culture of the westward migration. Drawing on hundreds of previously unused letters, journals, and sermons, the author argues that Congregational missionaries were aggressive evangelists who successfully adjusted to the egalitarian demands of the early republican frontier. Keepers of the Covenant critically examines the various explanations for the decline of Congregationalism after the American Revolution, and in the process, overturns generalizations that have prevailed for years. The conclusion offers a reinterpretation of Congregationalist decline that challenges much conventional wisdom about church growth. It will interest not only church historians and students of early republican America, but also sociologists and all those concerned with the decline of the Protestant "mainline" today.
