Publisher's Synopsis
The Day Of The Country Church, written by James Oliver Ashenhurst and published in 1910, is a historical and sociological study of rural churches in the United States during the early 20th century. The book explores the role of the church in the lives of rural communities, examining the ways in which religious institutions provided social, cultural, and spiritual support to their congregations. Ashenhurst also discusses the challenges faced by rural churches, including declining attendance, financial difficulties, and changing social norms. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including church records, personal interviews, and historical documents, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of the rural church and its place in American society. The Day Of The Country Church is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American religion, rural life, and community development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
