Dr. Garth Rosell’s New Book Recounts the Presbyterian Story in America

Dr. Garth Rosell, Senior Research Professor of Church History, released a publication today titled Reformed and Evangelical across Four Centuries: The Presbyterian Story in America. Co-authored with fellow scholars Nathan Feldmeth, S. Donald Fortson, and Kenneth Stewart, the book recounts the development of the Presbyterian church from its British roots to its modern presence in multiple denominations in the United States.

As the publisher, Eedermans, explains, “This account emphasizes the role of the evangelical movement in shaping various Presbyterian bodies in America, especially in the twentieth century amid increasing departures from traditional Calvinism, historic orthodoxy, and a focus on biblical authority. Particular attention is also given to crucial elements of diversity in the Presbyterian story, with increasing numbers of African American, Latino/a, and Korean American Presbyterians—among others—in the twenty-first century.”
