Sinopsis

The Congregationalists is a historical book written by Leonard Woolsey Bacon and originally published in 1904. The book provides a comprehensive account of the Congregationalist movement, which is a form of Protestantism that emphasizes the autonomy of each local church and the priesthood of all believers. Bacon traces the origins of Congregationalism to the Puritan movement in England in the 16th and 17th centuries, which emphasized the importance of individual conscience and the authority of the Bible over the Church hierarchy. He then follows the development of Congregationalism in America, where it became one of the dominant Protestant denominations in the 19th century.Throughout the book, Bacon explores the key figures and events that shaped Congregationalism, including the Great Awakening, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. He also discusses the challenges that the movement faced, such as the rise of other Protestant denominations and the changing social and cultural landscape of America.Overall, The Congregationalists is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Protestantism in America and the development of religious freedom and autonomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
