Francis Makemie helps found American Presbyterianism by organizing the first American Presbytery.
The book introduces Francis Makemie, a Scot-Irish pastor born around 1658 in Ireland. It traces his early education, from Ramelton to the University of Glasgow, and his training under the Laggan Presbytery in Ireland. You’ll see how his studies and licensing laid the groundwork for a new church structure in America.
Through Makemie’s connections across the Atlantic, the narrative shows his role in testing and presenting pastoral work, and hints at the transatlantic calls that drew him toward establishing Presbyterian ministry in the American colonies.
Ideal for readers of American religious history and readers curious about the roots of Presbyterian organization in the United States.
