Many have made great inroads in the shaping of the American religions. Some as great orators, some as great theologians, some as great writers. Some influenced the founding of denominations without any education. Such are those in this book. These represent those who have died after leaving their mark in history allowing our ability to know about them and their beliefs. It is not a book of endorsement, but a gathering of information about the founders, who in many cases left a large denomination or following. There are many founders that I could not find who are buried in history so their group is not found herein. I hope those recorded will enlighten you more about each one.
