The Broadway Presbyterian Church was originally organized in 1825 as an outgrowth of the Second Great Awakening. This church's often troubled life has been a remarkable microcosm of wider currents in American church history. This study traces these currents from 1825-1975 with particular reference to the relationship between 'evangelical faith' and 'social concern'. Primary documents available are the official records and writings of its ten ministers over 150 years. Personal faith and active social reform characterized many evangelical churches in the 19th century. The fundamentalist-modernist controversy has characterized the 20th century and continues to hamper the unity and mission of the church. While there are new possibilities for reconciliation between 'personal faith' and 'social gospel' among conservative and liberal Christians, particularly with the emergence of the 'new evangelicals' of the 1970s, some issues, especially biblical understanding and authority, indicate continued tensions. Dynamic balance must continue to be the pattern for the Presbyterian church if it is to retain biblical wholeness in mission and insights and contributions of both factions.
