Why?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirth Haring Fabend finds the explanation in the devotion of the Reformed Dutch Church membership to the doctrines and traditions of their church. She looks at the individual and personal beliefs and behaviors of this often-neglected ethnic group. Thus, \u003ci\u003eZion on the Hudson\u003c\/i\u003e presents both a broad and an intimate look at the way one mainstream Protestant denomination dealt with the transformative events of the evangelical era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Fabend describes the efforts of the Dutch to preserve the European standards and traditions of their church, while developing a taste for a new kind of theology and a preference for an American identity, she documents how Dutchness finally became a historical memory. The Americanization of the Reformed Dutch Church, Fabend writes, is a microcosm of the story of the Americanization of the United States itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559278113048,"sku":"9780813527710","price":41.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/zion-on-the-hudson-dutch-new-york-and-new-jersey-in-the-age-of-revivals-hardback-9780813527710","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
