Wayne Sparkman's work as the director of the Presbyterian Church in America's Historical Center doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves, which I can say with some authority because I was, until a few years into my pastoral career, utterly unaware of his work; this despite being a PCA member with a keen interest in Church history and a pastor who just happened to have a PhD in the field. The Historical Center is a treasure trove of data and primary sources on American presbyterianism of both the northern and southern species, and really should be better known to the wider world.
Mr. Sparkman comes up because, in a comment on an earlier post, he posted a link to a bibliography on in thesi deliverances he is presently composing. I recommend it to you, as the excerpts which are already posted provide a thorough introduction to both the question and to its importance for presbyterian doctrine and practice.
