October 4, 1894 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "A History of the Congregational Churches in the United States," by Williston Walker. Walker introduces the American part of his history with two valuable chapters, "The Beginnings of Congregationalism" and "Early English Congregationalism." In the former there is much emphasis, as there should be, on the Swiss and German Anabaptists. The connection between English Congregationalism and the Continental Anabaptists cannot clearly be made out. They had much in common and much in difference, but that which was most central to either-was the idea that a Christian church was made up exclusively of persons who had experienced religion.
