USDOriginally published in 1935, this book examines the history of the English Presbyterian movement in terms of its connection with the surrounding cultural environment.

The relationship between Presbyterian thought and contemporary developments in science and philosophy is given particular attention.

This is a fascinating book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in religious or cultural history.
