, 1894

Overview

By the end of the nineteenth century, Baptists had transformed from a persecuted religious minority in Reformation Europe to a dominant spiritual and social force in the United States. A.H. Newman’s sympathetic Baptist history documents this metamorphosis, describing the early drift of Christianity toward infant baptism, the recovery of baptistic theology in the Reformation, Roger Williams’ struggle for freedom of conscience in Massachusetts, the establishment of the first Baptist churches in the United States, and their astounding proliferation throughout the nation. His extensive account of the formation of the Southern Baptist Convention—written mere decades after its inception—gives unique insight into a denomination whose origins are mired in the scandal of slavery.
