Baptists through the Centuries provides a clear introduction to the
history and theology of this influential and international people.
David Bebbington, a leading Baptist historian, surveys the main
developments in Baptist life and thought from the seventeenth
century to the present. The Baptist movement took root and grew
well beyond its British and American origins. Bebbington
persuasively demonstrates how Baptists continually adapted to the
cultures and societies in which they lived, generating ever more
diversity within an already multifaceted group. Bebbington's survey
also examines the challenging social, political, and intellectual
issues in Baptist historyaattitudes on race, women's roles in the
church, religious liberty, missions, and theological commitments.
The second edition of this proven textbook extends the scope with
chapters on three parts of the world where Baptists have become
particularly numerous: Latin America (where Brazilian Baptists
number over 2 million), Nigeria (where Baptists are at their
strongest outside North America, numbering roughly 5 million), and
the Naga Hills in India (where Baptists form over 80 percent of the
population). Each chapter also highlights regional issues that have
presented new challenges and opportunities to Baptists: holistic
mission in Latin America, the experience of charismatic renewal and
the encounter with Islam in Nigeria, and the demands of peacemaking
in the Naga Hills. Through this new edition, Bebbington orients
readers and expands their knowledge of the Baptist community as it
continues to flourish around the world.
