The Tendency Towards Centralization of Authority Among American Congregationalists and Baptists
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 January 2009
Extract
The present tendency toward centralization among Congregationalists and Baptists is one of the prominent phenomena of contemporary American Church History. It deserves recognition as a sign of the times; it is for historians to find its place in the continuity of historical development. The records of its latest phases are hardly yet in print; its beginnings are several centuries old.
