Summary: "The names of Mark Dever and Capitol Hill Baptist Church (CHBC) are well-known in evangelical circles, but little is known about the tumultuous 150-year history of this congregation in Washington, DC. A Light on the Hill tells the story of God's extraordinary work in and through a rather ordinary group of people, as CHBC was transformed from a sleepy church in East Washington to a thriving congregation just blocks away from the center of world power. Along the way, the story of CHBC tracks with the development of evangelicalism in America through the themes of revivalism, fundamentalism, neo-evangelicalism, and suburbanization, through the lives of its many prominent pastors and members, including Dr. K. Owen White, Carl F. H. Henry, and Mark Dever. In an age of influencers that burn bright but burn out quickly, A Light on the Hill demonstrates how much good can come from a local church that seeks to be faithful over the long run"-- Provided by publisher.
