0:00.0	Hello, welcome back to Scripture Central. I'm Lynn Hilton Wilson.
0:04.0	And we here on the Scripture Central team are trying to build enduring faith in Jesus Christ
0:10.0	by illuminating restored scripture. We want to make it more accessible and defensible and comprehensible.
0:17.0	And today we are going to be, I'm inviting you to come and study church history as we look at the hard questions with honest answers.
0:25.2	And we are so fortunate to have Dr. Steve Harper here.
0:28.6	He's one of the best historians we've got.

1:30.3	There's not only is it a younger population, but it's only been 20 years. They're barely getting their farms in, let alone church buildings.
1:38.3	You know, we've got one church building in Palmyra with lots of different congregations meeting there at different times.
1:45.0	But all over upstate New York, they refer to it as the burned over district.
1:51.0	And I'm fascinated with this idea of the spirit burning through and ministers burning through.
1:59.0	And I've read, I don't know if you've seen the book by Dr. Cross,
