An outline of Baptist history

A comprehensive story of the Baptist Church, from its apostolic traditions before the Reformation through its many activities in the early 20th century. It is especially concerned with the Negro Baptists in America, and recounts their growth and maturing as denominations. The book includes many names of leaders, and statistics from the 1909 U.S. census, and gives an account of the personal and monetary strengths of the congregations. The history finds that the recognition and practice of adult baptism and communion are the only essential criteria for the true Baptist, and insists that there is no difference between white and black Baptists.
