A significant number of titles that describe the missionary activities of the period are included as well as numerous biographies of nineteenth century theologians which provide perspective on how and why these leaders were valued in the nineteenth century. It offers a unique collection of books by and about women and the church and also books about Native Americans and their religion and the view that Puritans and others held about Native Americans and their religion. Topics like Jewish laws, music, literature, and history are also well covered in the collection.
