Book Review: III. Historical-Theological: The Light and the Glory

trines and institutions as the papacy, monasticism, the crusades and worship. Next Professor Loetscher examines the basic ideas of Martin Luther and John Calvin and then traces the growth of Presbyterian groups—Huguenots and others—in Europe, Scotland and England. The remaining chapters 6-15 trace developments among Presbyterians in America. These include the founding of churches, church leaders, government, the infamous Plan of Union with Congregationalists and divisions over revivals and slavery. One of the most helpful sections examines the Southern Presbyterian Church, its genesis and work. The final chapter, "Since the 1950's" deals with the Presbyterian response to civil rights, the Confession of 1967, ecumenism and church structure. An appendix offers study questions for discussion. This little book is something of a classic among Presbyterians. It, is indeed a brief study with the barest of summaries for complex and complicated issues and doctrines. Perhaps that is why it has been so useful in introducing students to Presbyterian church history.
