A people called Cumberland Presbyterians

Light on a people's forward path comes from behind-from the past. Because Cumberland Presbyterians are eager for illumination for their ongoing mission this book has been written. In A People Called Cumberland Presbyterians three writers have pursued this goal directly and effectively. They present clearly and relevantly the convictions, dedication, and purpose that formed this Presbyterian denomination on the American frontier and have impelled it through more than 160 years to the present. The book illumines some of the distinctive traits of this church. Many persons and events come to life in it. Not only the better known heroes and heroines of the movement are presented, but also many of the lesser known who played colorful and significant roles, and details typical of the ongoing life of the church are here, along with accounts of the stirring hours in its history. Bringing enrichment and added interest to the text are more than fifty illustrations., ISBN13: B0006C4FNA ISBN10: B0006C4FNA Material Type: hardcover
