Publisher's Synopsis
The History of the Broadway Tabernacle of New York City is a comprehensive account of the founding and development of this iconic religious institution. Written by L. Nelson Nichols, the book traces the origins of the Tabernacle back to the 1840s, when a group of progressive Christians sought to create a new kind of church that would be open to people of all races, classes, and backgrounds. Over the years, the Tabernacle became a hub of social and political activism, hosting speeches by luminaries such as Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The book also explores the Tabernacle's role in the abolitionist movement, the fight for women's suffrage, and other important social movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. With its rich historical detail and engaging narrative style, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of New York City, American religious history, or the role of religion in social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
