Behind the life of a single congregation lies a century of American faith, growth, and change. It began with a congregation. One Hundred Years Of History, 1802-1902, Second Presbyterian Church, Baltimore, Maryland gathers narrative, record, and local memory to trace how one early American urban church helped shape 19th century Baltimore, Maryland. As a presbyterian church history book rooted in a particular community, it also serves as a vivid baltimore church history book, tracing the intertwined lives of congregation and city.Compiled by Thomas Holmes Walker for the church's centennial, this local church history reference book illuminates the evolution of American Presbyterianism in the 19th century and situates Second Presbyterian Church Baltimore within wider maryland religious history in the 1800s. Rich in names, dates, and congregational detail, it is a resource for church historians, a doorway into american protestant history studies, and a practical aid to genealogy and family history research in any maryland church records collection. Readers glimpse the realities of early american urban churches as city life reshaped religious practice.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions.
