Kyle T. Bulthuis. Four Steeples over the City Streets: Religion and Society in New York’s Early Republic Congregations
Place matters. That is the theme that runs through Kyle Bulthuis’s interesting examination of Anglicans/Episcopalians and Methodists in New York City from the late colonial era to 1850. Across those one hundred years, the evolving urban environment, with its changing political, economic, social, and racial realities, shaped the prospects and possibilities of the four congregations under investigation, and by implication, all of New York’s religio…

Its impact on Puritan society was profound. He had…
