About This Item
New York, NY: Vantage Press, 1982 Vantage Press, New York. 1982. Hardcover. Revised and Updated Edition. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Very Good +; bumping to head and tail; light bottom edge wear. DJ: Very Good; small closed tears and light chipping to tail. Maroon buckram boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 383 pp 8vo. This book begins the engrossing and indeed shocking account of how the United Church of Christ was formed from a merger of the Evangelical, Reformed, and the Congregational Christian Churches. The merger was the product of manipulation, misleading assurances, and frequent cover-ups allowing the Congregationalists to be talked out of their historic and uncompromised rights as members in self-governing local churches in a free and untrammeled national fellowship. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
