Publisher Synopsis
"What distinguishes The Episcopalians from other histories of the Episcopal Church is its contextualization. Shattuck and Hein go to pains to show how the Episcopal Church has affected and been affected by the history of the Republic with which it has long had a unique, symbiotic relationship.
