Excerpt from German Religious Life in Colonial Times It is hoped that this caption, derived from the German Vorwort. instead of the more usual "Preface, " may not seem affected in a book treating of matters Germanic. The work deals with much the same subject as that of my earlier book, "The Germans in Colonial Times." But it is specifically confined to an account of the religious life of the same period and people. A better title would have been "Church Life, " were it not that the restriction of the term "church" to the three tolerated confessions - Lutheran, Reformed, and Catholic - makes this title seem to confine the subject of the work to them, whereas the story of the sects forms a large part of it, as well in importance as in bulk. It has been my aim to make the history a connected story, not following the thread of each separate denomination's annals, but rather trying to look over the whole field and narrate the general course of ecclesiastical life among the Germans in America during the Colonial era.
