OXFORD HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH The United States and Canada ecclesiology

Description: Here is a volume from the series OXFORD HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. This is A HISTORY OF THE CHURCHES IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA, by Robert T. Handy. The series is edited by Henry and Owen Chadwick. Oxford University Press, 471 pages. Covers such topics as Colonial Christianity, religion in the new world. The religious histories of both the USA and Canada contain many dramatic themes, such as the Great Awakenings, the triumph of religious freedom, the clashes between Catholics and Protestants, the tensions of racial and ethnic differences, the forming of church unions, and the contentions between Christians who seek to express their faith in the thought patterns of their time and those who cling to traditional formulations. The way the churches faced the movement of peoples into and across a vast continent tells much about their present size and characteristics in both Canada and the United States.
