요약 : This dissertation investigates the development and the interaction of diverse religious groups in the context of the commercial culture of Cincinnati in the nineteenth century. Growing from a frontier outpost in North America's Middle Ground into the largest industrial, commercial and ethnically diverse city in the antebellum West, Cincinnati was a regional capital and crossroads for many religious groups. The city's economic success attracted all sorts of people, who came with a striking variety of religious beliefs and organizations. Jews, Catholics, and Protestants all formed congregations and organizations in the city. Presbyterians, Baptists and Methodists, African Methodists and Baptists, German Methodists, Unitarians, Campbellites, Quakers, Catholics from Ireland and Bavaria, and reform minded Jews from German speaking lands and the East, all, concentrated their efforts to win the expanding frontiers of America. Each hoped to establish a foothold in the great emporium, to strengthen their religious denomination in the region, and in some cases to spread their brand of religion throughout the country. In the process these various people and religious organizations competed against each other for attention, followers, and influence. Religious people, such as Joshua Wilson, Lyman Beecher, Alexander Campbell, John Baptist Purcell, Sarah Peter, and Isaac Mayer Wise, firmly dwelled within the market culture. As religious groups contended with each other, they adopted similar communication styles and institutional forms. Religious leaders and organizations popularized their message, published their views, and built religious structures whose impressive steeples, bells, clocks and refined architectural style drew attention like commercial signs on buildings. By counting their numbers, these institutions kept track of their progress. Religious associations developed more sophisticated institutions. Those led by women sought in particular to serve the needs the market neglected. By serving social needs religious groups could proclaim their dedication to the common good. As the groups developed and even borrowed competitive strategies, Cincinnati became nothing less than a marketplace for religion in the Ohio Valley, influencing companies like Procter and Gamble. Cincinnati's wide religious diversity and interaction, methods of expanding the influence of religion, and prolific religious growth anticipated religious trends that would later mark the nation.
