Zion on the Hudson
Dutch New York and New Jersey in the age of revivals
by Firth Haring Fabend
"The Dutch came to the New World in the seventeenth century as explorers and traders, but religion soon followed, for it was accepted in the Netherlands that state and church were mutually benefited by advancing the "true Christian religion." The influence of "Dutchness" - defined as loyalty to what are presumed to be the distinctive qualities of Dutch national character and culture - persisted in New York and New Jersey for more than two hundred years after Dutch emigration ended. Why?".
"Firth Haring Fabend finds the explanation in the devotion of the Reformed Dutch Church membership to the doctrines and traditions of their religion. She looks at both the larger themes in American history and at the beliefs and behaviors of individuals in this often-neglected ethnic group. Thus, Zion on the Hudson presents both a broad and an intimate look at the way one mainstream Protestant denomination dealt with the transformative events of the evangelical era."--BOOK JACKET.
