History of the Philadelphia Bible-Christian Church for the First Century of Its Existence, 1817-1917 (1922)

""History Of The Philadelphia Bible-Christian Church For The First Century Of Its Existence, 1817-1917"" is a comprehensive account of the first hundred years of the Philadelphia Bible-Christian Church, written by the church's own committee and published in 1922. The book delves into the church's origins, tracing its roots back to the early 19th century when a group of Christians in Philadelphia sought to establish a new church that rejected the traditional creeds and dogmas of mainstream Christianity. The book covers the church's growth and development over the course of a century, detailing its struggles and triumphs, its leaders and members, its beliefs and practices, and its impact on the wider community. It explores the church's role in social and political movements of the time, including temperance, abolitionism, and women's suffrage. Throughout the book, the committee draws on a wealth of primary sources, including church records, personal letters, and newspaper articles, to provide a rich and detailed history of this important religious institution. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American religion, particularly those interested in the development of non-traditional Christian denominations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
