Description
“This book documents the founding of Baptist churches in the American Colonies and later in the United States. This work is particularly rich in studies of Baptists and their attitude toward the American Revolution and their influence in the formation of the United States Constitution; their part in The Great Awakening; and, the formation of Baptist associations. The author also documents seasons of religious unrest when there were divisions and schisms among the churches, and other important activities of Baptists in America, to the eventful year 1845…Obviously the contents of this work are indispensable to an appreciation of Baptists.”
