The Religious History of Marietta in the Nineteenth Century
144 pgs. This book was written by a Congregational minister at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. It covers the time from the founding of Marietta, Ohio, to about 1900. While the religious history of Marietta from that time forward is not unimportant, it follows the earlier patterns of unfolding. The historical failings of Christ’s church in Marietta can be more clearly seen and understood with the perspective that historical reflection provides. The closer to our own time we get, the more difficult it is to see past our own presuppositions and prejudices. So, I have chosen to focus on the Nineteenth Century in the hope of making certain problems and issues regarding American Christianity and the religious history of Marietta more clear.
