Overview

Known as the first Baptist systematic theologian in America, John L. Dagg overcame extraordinary odds—limited education, near-blindness, physical disablement—to become a professor of theology and the president of Mercer University in Georgia. His magnum opus, the two-volume Manual of Theology, was a highly influential and widely used as a textbook. The first volume is an in-depth treatise on Christian doctrine, the second, a treatise on Church Order. Dagg’s other two works, The Evidences of Christianity and The Elements of Moral Science, were also widely circulated; they enjoyed several editions. The Works of John L. Dagg includes all four of these important works.
