The Baptists
New York: Hippocrene Books, 1990. Hardcover. The largest Protestant denomination in the United States today, the Baptists had their origin in a small but determined band of dissenting Christians, who first gathered together in 1609 in the wake of the European Reformation. This book vividly depicts the courage and fortitude of the early Baptists, many of whom risked their lives in defense of their beliefs. The "Televangelists" of the 1980s are a passing phenomenon in the sterling history of the group, but their very notoriety bears testimony that upon the unflagging conviction of their predecessors was built a major modern church.
