Presbyterians and Pensions
Presbyterians and Pensions traces the historical development of the modern Board of Pensions of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and its predecessor organizations from colonial times to the present. It is a critical work that examines the Board of Pensions in its broad historical, social, economic, and theological context. Utilizing the case study approach, the authors show how a major Protestant denomination produced its present retirement and protection program for church employees. This is an insightful historical presentation of a vital part of the church's mission and provides very interesting and critical reading for those interested in the history of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

Several essays review Christian education among Presbyterians, focusing on the forming of curricula and publications from denominational presses. Through its examination of American Presbyterianism, the Presbyterian Presence series illuminates patterns of change in mainstream Protestantism and American religious and cultural life in the twentieth century.
Nineteenth-Century Transatlantic Reprinting and the Embodied Book
Until the Chace Act in 1891, no international copyright law existed between Britain and the United States, which meant publishers were free to edit text, excerpt whole passages, add new illustrations, and substantially redesign a book's appearance.

Focusing on four influential works”Charles Dicken...

The volumes are filled with photos of many of the old cemetery sites and notes describing the company and unit of most of the old Civil War era veterans.
