Keepers of the Covenant Frontier Missions and the Decline of Congregationalism 1774-1818

Rohrer challenges the traditional interpretation of the decline of the Congregationalists. Drawing heavily on unpublished manuscripts, the author shows that, rather than failing to adapt to the democratizing culture of the western migration, they were in fact aggressive frontier evangelists. In the course of proving this, Rohrer overturns many generalizations about the Congretationalists, and challenges conventional wisdom about church growth and religious declension.Rohrer, James R. is the author of 'Keepers of the Covenant Frontier Missions and the Decline of Congregationalism 1774-1818' with ISBN 9780195091663 and ISBN 0195091663.
