For my English class, we have a paper for which we're currently making topic proposals. The guideline is to write an essay to "question your assumptions about a single word that we may all take for granted." Although this was almost definitely not what the professor had in mind when she assigned the essay, I'm planning to analyze our modern culture's notions about the word "Presbyterian," and show how they most likely ignore the word's whole history and roots, which is mostly due to the PCUSA.
Are there any online essays you know of that trace the history of the development of the word "Presbyterian," and compare its historic meaning with what it is typically associated with today?
