Synopsis

This book traces the history of the Cane Ridge Meeting House, a Kentucky church founded in 1791. The author, a descendant of the church's founders, recounts the building of the church, the arrival of the influential minister Barton W. Stone, and the great revival meeting of 1801, where thousands gathered for days of intense religious fervor. The book explores the complexities of Stone's life and beliefs, as well as the schisms and controversies that arose within the church. By examining this unique religious community, the author sheds light on the history of Christianity in the American South and the evolving nature of faith in the 19th century.
