Wheeler Robinson, this work delves into the foundational principles that have shaped Baptist identity over centuries, emphasizing the central tenets of religious liberty, the authority of the Scriptures, and the significance of believer's baptism.
The book traces the evolution of the movement from its origins within the broader context of the Reformation and English Nonconformity to its status as a global denomination.
