Synopsis

An RCA Reader is a welcome addition for teaching the history of the Reformed Church in America (RCA) in college and seminary classes. A sourcebook of seventy-five documents from the earliest years of the RCA in the 1600s to the present. This volume is not just for the classroom but will be a welcome addition to the library of all history lovers. The document covers the colonial period, including the Leisler Rebellion, New Netherlands’ settlement, and the coetus-conferentie controversy: the early American period including the True Dutch Reformed Church, institution building, and slavery and slaveholding; the mission efforts of the RCA around the world; the 19th-century immigration and the establishment of the Christian Reformed Church and Hope College; the rise of denominationalism in the RCA; the growth of social justice issues including the Black Manifesto, ecumenism, women’s ordination, and denominational identity.

Each section includes a practical contextual analysis to place the documents in their historical context and suggestions for further reading. This is not a volume that needs to be read from cover to cover; it will provide helpful insights into the significant issues the RCA was involved in over nearly four centuries of its life and ministry.
