B. Jackson Among the oldest buildings in the United States, the churches of Spanish New Mexico—made of earth, of stone, of wood—are the surprisingly fragile remind- ers of a unique amalgam of Spanish archi- tectural ideas and native American Pueblo culture. This book surveys the land and rivers, the people and ideas, that led to this compelling religious architecture; it is also a guide to visiting these churches today.

It is affiliated with the American Historical Association. Its purpose is to foster interest in the history of Christianity, and its interrelationship with its cultural context by encouraging research, writ- ing, and teaching in this discipline. The membership of the society consists of scholars, men and women, the majority of whom serve on faculties of colleges, universities, and seminaries. Others are archivists, clergy members, professional writers, and students, or simply those who have a serious interest in church history. The society is ecumenical in character, comprising members of various religious persua- sions. In addition to Church History, a journal published quarterly, the society holds an annual meeting in conjunction with the American Historical Associ- ation and a spring meeting on the campus of a host institution. The meeting programs and the journal provide opportunities for exploring a wide variety of subjects and the exchange of thought. Membership dues entitle one to receive the journal, with its informative articles and large book review section, and attend the meetings of the society. In order to interest younger scholars, particularly those of ethnic minori- ties, in the work of the society, the council has voted to offer a dues-free membership (up to two years) to all graduate students working in the area of church history at an accredited institution upon the approval of a professor who is also a member of the society. Application for Membership American Society of Church History Name: Address: Present last street institutional first affiliation/Last middle city degree earned—when and state where (title) zip Signature Professor's signature (If graduate student) Annual dues are $30.00, plus $7.00 foreign postage, including Canada. Graduate students working in the area of church history with the approval and verification of a professor who is also a member of the society may join without paying a fee. Persons who have been members of the society for at least five years and are now retired from professional life may continue membership at $15.00 per year. Membership in the society includes a subscription to Church History. The council approves applications at its semiannual meetings. Send to: Henry W. Bowden, P.O. Box 8517, Red Bank, Nj 07701.
