DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume is the first comprehensive overview of North Carolina Presbyterians to appear in more than a hundred years. Drawing on congregational and administrative histories, personal memoirs, and recent scholarship—while paying close attention to the relevant social, political, and religious contexts of the state and region—Walter Conser and Robert Cain go beyond older approaches to denominational history by focusing on the identity and meaning of the Presbyterian experience in the Old North State from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries. Conser and Cain explore issues as diverse as institutional development and worship experience; the patterns and influence of race, ethnicity, and gender; and involvement in education and social justice campaigns. In part 1 of the book, “Beginnings,” they trace the entrance of Presbyterians—who were legally considered dissenters throughout the colonial period—into the eastern, central, and western sections of the state. The authors show how the Piedmont became the nexus of Presbyterian organizational development and examine the ways in which political movements, including campaigns for American independence, deeply engaged Presbyterians, as did the incandescence of revivalism and agitation for reform, which extended into the antebellum period. The book’s second section, “Conflict, Renewal, and Reunion,” investigates the denominational tensions provoked by the slavery debate and the havoc of the Civil War, the soul searching that accompanied Confederate defeat, and the rebuilding efforts that came during the New South era. Such important factors as the changing roles of women in the church and the decline of Jim Crow helped pave the way for the eventual reunion of the northern and southern branches of mainline Presbyterianism. By the arrival of the new millennium, Presbyterians in North Carolina were prepared to meet future challenges with renewed confidence. A model for modern denominational history, this book is an astute and sensitive portrayal of a prominent Protestant denomination in a southern context. Walter H. Conser Jr. is professor of religion and professor of history at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. His books include A Coat of Many Colors: Religion and Society along the Cape Fear River of North Carolina and God and the Natural World: Religion and Science in the Natural World. Before his retirement after thirty-two years of service, Robert J. Cain was head of the Colonial Records Branch at the North Carolina State Archives. He is the editor of The Colonial Records of North Carolina, second series.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDr. Dudley (1903-1999) was General Secretary of the Synod of North Carolina of the Presbyterian Church in the United States from 1951 to 1971. For many years he collected material on the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina prior to 1813 when the new Synod of North Carolina was formed. This included the background and history of the earliest Reformed settlements in the state, histories of the first Presbyterian congregations, information on all Presbyterian ministers known to have preached within the later Synod's bounds, and details of church governance and expansion through 1813. The book he was writing has been completed for publication this year. The volume also includes his history of the Synod of North Carolina from its beginning in 1813 to reunification of the northern and southern branches in 1983." -- publisher's letter.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The History of First Presbyterian Church, Raleigh, North Carolina, 1816-1891 At all times and in all places, the history of the beginnings and the progress of Presbyterianism has been intimately connected with the history of the rise and development of education. These two things have been as intimately associated with Raleigh as in other parts of the United States so that any account of Presbyterians in this city must be preceded by a brief narrative of facts and its first institution of learning.
