Keith Harper is Professor of Church History, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is the author of The Quality of Mercy: Southern Baptist and Social Christianity, 1890-1920.
"This collection of scholarly essays by church historians focuses
on the history of Christian denominations within the United States.
Inspired to update William Warren Sweet's Religion on the American
Frontier, published between 1931 and 1946, editor Keith Harper
expands Sweet's original coverage of four denominations
(Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, and Methodists) to
include essays on Catholic and Mormon historiography and on Black
Protestant, Pentecostal, and Evangelical religious movements. Each
essay discusses recent research and publications and has extensive
bibliographical notes. This is a good starting point for the study
of denominational history."
