Book Description
Excerpt from American Baptist Register, for 1852 Tm: main object of this work is to present to the world the statistics and localities of the Baptist Churches in America. These churches being independent, united simply by the fellowship of a common faith, and not by any inter-ecclesiastical government, recognizing no central synod or assembly to which reports are due, it has not been easy to gather returns from every part of our wide land.

Book Description
No American denomination identified itself more closely with the nation's democratic ideal than the Baptists. Most antebellum southern Baptist churches allowed women and slaves to vote on membership matters and preferred populists preachers who addressed their appeals to the common person. Paradoxically no denomination could wield religious authority as zealously as the Baptists. Between 1785 and 1860 they ritually excommunicated forty to fifty thousand church members in Georgia alone. Wills demonstrates how a denomination of freedom-loving individualists came to embrace an exclusivist spirituality--a spirituality that continues to shape Southern Baptist churches in contemporary conflicts between moderates who urge tolerance and conservatives who require belief in scriptural inerrancy. Wills's analysis advances our understanding of the interaction between democracy and religious authority, and will appeal to scholars of American religion, culture, and history, as well as to Baptist observers.
