The Presbyterians
Presbyterians number about 4,000,000, and they are primarily white. They are spread evenly around the country, and are second only to Episcopalians among major Protestant groups in education and income level. Presbyterians believe in the infallibility of the Bible as the revealed word of God, and in a definite (though spiritual) concept of heaven and hell. Presbyterians believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and in the Holy Trinity as the revelation of God in three manifestations. American Presidents Jackson, Buchanan, Benjamin Harrison, Cleveland, Wilson and Eisenhower were all Presbyterians.
