Additional note

A 1987 renewal for the 1959 book 'The New Shape of American Religion' by Martin Marty notes that it was previously published as a series of articles in Christian Century magazine. The specific issues are not mentioned, but the renewal could cover articles published in 1959 that appear in this book. (Some of the 1958 contribution renewals shown here appear likely to have been for articles included in the book.)
