reviewed Democratic Religion: Freedom, Authority, and Church Discipline in the Baptist South, 1785-1900 on October 08, 2019 Democratic Religion: Freedom, Authority, and Church Discipline in the Baptist South, 1785-1900
Wow!
I had no idea what to expect from this book, but what I found was:
-An informed picture of early Baptist church life in America
-Incredibly meticulous research
-A history of black-white relationships in the Baptist church that I never knew existed
-Scores of historical anecdotes from the period that give a very gritty, real-life feel to the book
-Enlightening information on the devolution of Southern Baptists--from confessional, doctrinally rich, thoroughly Calvinistic, discipline-practicing congregations to the total opposite of that by the mid-20th century.
I'm glad to see many churches (including my own) returning to those roots.
A great book if you're interested in Baptist history or the topic of church discipline.
