Battle for the Soul of a City
The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy was a defining moment for New York in the 1920s and one of the most significant theological battles in the city's history, as key doctrines of the Christian tradition such as the Virgin Birth, the Atonement, and the bodily resurrection of Christ were debated in the mainstream as well as the religious press. The principal figures in the controversy were John Roach Straton and Harry Emerson Fosdick, two prom…
New York City and the Production of Sacred Space
Jon Butler's God in Gotham: The Miracle of Religion in Modern Manhattan affirms what historians of religion have long known and some urban historians have begun to discover-that few things in American history have survived so well as religion.

“The Right Achieved and the Wrong Way Conquered”
The infamous conflict between Joseph Harrison Jackson, longtime president of the National Baptist Convention, Inc. (NBC), and Martin Luther King, Jr., has attracted considerable scholarly attention. For nearly a decade, the two Baptist clerics fought for control of the largest African American religious organization in the country as King sought to use it as the “institutional basis for the Civil Rights Movement.” Treated as a simple confrontatio…
Around the Family Altar

Centering his analysis on the African Methodist Episcopal Church (ame), Bailey brought new insight to the examination of the denomination's idea of the Christian home. Arguing first that there were “two interconnected uses of domesticity in the ame church,” Bailey contended that various constituents withi…
