Documents illustrative of the early history and theology of the Evangelical Covenant Church, now in an expanded edition.

"As seed to harvest, our past feeds our future.  In this book we watch and listen as people very much like ourselves make decisions in 1885 that we are still living out today." -Glenn R. Palmberg, president of the Evangelical Covenant Church (1998-2008)

"This anthology of primary documents has served students of Covenant history well...It was the first of its kind, enabling readers to consider in English translation the accounts of the organization in 1885 of the Evangelical Covenant Church, as well as reflections on its history and theology by early denominational leaders... In the absence of formal church confessions, these documents take on heightened formative meaning." - Philip J. Anderson, professor of church history, North Park Theological Seminary (1979-2013)
