As I have been doing this work, the questions that I have kept in the forefront of my mind are: How did the PCA come to be the way it currently is? What is the connection between the way the conservative movement in the old southern Presbyterian church developed and the way the PCA lives and breathes as a church of God doing kingdom business today? These historical questions have led me to a more pressing question which I have faced as a teaching elder in the PCA: Do conservative Presbyterian churches, as represented in my denomination, embrace their Presbyterian identity? Or do other ideas, practices, and narratives serve to shape them? In other words, one could read the history of the PCA as an attempt to answer the question: What does it mean to be a (conservative) Presbyterian in the postmodern age? - Preface.

Excerpt from Presbyterianism, and Its Services in the Revolution of 1776: A Discourse Among the countless events of history there are those which stand as milestones along the highway of human progress. Though, at the period of their occurrence, few discern their Significance and none their proper magni tude, yet, as time rolls on, their import emerges to view, and men see that God was in them. They make or mark a historic epoch; in them the pen dulum of time swings through one of its sweeping oscilla tions in them the clock of time strikes another hour. The event may occur in the recesses ofa human mind as when Galileo discovered the principle of the pendulum in the swaying to and fro of the chandelier in the old Cathedral at Pisa; or, as when the apple, falling from the tree in the orchard at Woolsthorpe, set the mind of Newton at work upon the great principle of gravitation: or, as when Morse, applying the principles of electricity, gave to the world the Electric Telegraph.

It is in conformity with the Book of Church Order of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) and includes the Confession of Faith and Catechisms.

Edwin Rian left his doctoral studies in German to help found Westminster Seminary where he served as President of the Board of Trustees. The Presbyterian Conflict was the first historical account written of the struggle over doctrinal and ecclesiastical orthodoxy at Princeton Seminary in the early twentieth Century, culminating in the decision of many of its conservative faculty to resign and form a new seminary. It remains distinctly helpful and informative as a firsthand account of the man at its center, J. Gresham Machen.
