  • PRESBYTERIANISM in AMERICA the 20 Century
    WRS Journal 13:2 (August 2006) 26-43 PRESBYTERIANISM IN AMERICA The 20th Century John A. Battle The final third century of Presbyterianism in America has witnessed the collapse of the mainline Presbyterian churches into liberalism and decline, the emergence of a number of smaller, conservative denominations and agencies, and a renewed interest in Reformed theology throughout the evangelical world. The history of Presbyterianism in the twentieth century is very complex, with certain themes running through the entire century along with new and radical developments. Looking back over the last hundred years from a biblical perspective, one can see three major periods, characterized by different stages of development or decline. The entire period begins with the Presbyterian Church being overwhelmingly conservative, and united theologically, and ends with the same church being largely liberal and fragmented, with several conservative defections. I have chosen two dates during the century as marking these watershed changes in the Presbyterian Church: (1) the issuing of the 1934 mandate requiring J. Gresham Machen and others to support the church’s official Board of Foreign Missions, and (2) the adoption of the Confession of 1967. The Presbyterian Church moves to a new gospel (1900-1934) At the beginning of the century When the twentieth century opened, the Presbyterians in America were largely contained in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA, the Northern church) and the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. (PCUS, the Southern church). There were a few smaller Presbyterian denominations, such as the pro-Arminian Cumberland Presbyterian Church and several Scottish Presbyterian bodies, including the United Presbyterian Church of North America and various other branches of the older Associate and Reformed Presbyteries and Synods.

But Faithlife is not only committed to increasing biblical literacy and accessibility for every Christian around the world. It’s is also a trustworthy resource for advancing ministry missions. In addition to Logos Bible Software, Faithlife offers 14 products that simplify church leaders’ work. These easy-to-use, powerful resources free up church leaders’ schedules so they can better serve their church members and community. The company works to assess and anticipate needs within ministries and church bodies. Faithlife’s products not only fill existing gaps but also address potential future problems, helping leaders stay ahead of the curve. For example, Faithlife Proclaim—its widely-used church presentation software—helps worship leaders and preachers improve and streamline worship and sermon presentations.
