520 |a This essay examines the characteristics of the census-type county level study, "Churches and Church Membership in the United States, 1990," and compares it to previous versions of the study for the years 1952, 1971, and 1980. Four questions about these studies are addressed. First, to what extent are these studies representative of the general and religious population universes from which they are drawn? Second, for denominations available for longitudinal analysis, what degree of compatibility exists between the four studies? Third, what adjustments are required to accommodate denominational mergers and schisms for the nearly forty years covered by these studies? Fourth, what are the unique features of the 1990 version of this study?
