Essays on key Baptist leaders throughout history Baptists lack a
single central figure in their orgins that lutherans, Reformed,
Presbyterians, and Methodists have with Martin Luther, John Calvin,
John Knox, and John Wesley. Additionally, Baptists focus so heavily
on the Bible for authority and key beliefs or practices like
religious liberty, social justice, missions, and preaching that
sometimes Baptists and other Christians forget the significant role
that people play in forging and promoting those ideas and
practices. This book seeks to address this shortcoming by providing
an introductory text of Baptist biographies. Certainly shorter than
a full-length biography but definitely longer than an encyclopedia
article, this sampling of key Baptist leaders through the years
view the story of Baptists through a biographical lens while
linking these women and men to a key Baptist distinctive. A short
suggested reading list is added at the end of each chapter to
enhance further study. Highlighted Baptist leaders include: Thomas
Helwys, John Clarke, Benjamin Keach, Anne Dutton, Shubal Stearns,
Isaac Backus, Dan Taylor, Andrew Fuller, John Leland, William
Carey, Lott Carey, Adoniram Judson, J. Gerhard Oncken, I. T.
Tichenor, Robert Cooke Buckner, Charles H. Spurgeon, Lottie Moon,
E. C. Morris, E. Y. Mullins, Walter Rauschenbusch, Helen Barrett
Montgomery, George W. Truett, William Owen Carver, James Henry
Rushbrooke, Nannie Helen Burroughs, B. B. McKinney, Thomas Buford
Maston, Herschel H. Hobbs, Henlee Barnette, and Gardner C. Taylor.
