Baptists are a major group of Christians with a worldwide presence.
Originating in the English Puritan-Separatist tradition of the 17th
century, Baptists proliferated in North America, and through
missionary work from England, Europe, and North America, they have
established churches, associations, unions, missions, and alliances
in virtually every country. They are among the most highly
motivated evangelists of the Christian gospel, employing at present
in excess of 7,000 domestic and overseas missionaries. Important
characteristics of the Baptists across their history are: the
authority of the Scriptures, individual accountability before God,
the priority of religious experience, religious liberty, separation
of church and state, congregational independence, and a concern for
the social implications of the gospel. Baptists recognize a twofold
ministry (deacons and pastors) or a threefold order (deacons,
elders, pastors). Historical Dictionary of the Baptists, Third
Edition expands upon the second edition with an updated chronology,
an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of
cross-referenced dictionary entries on important events, doctrines,
and the church founders, leaders, and other prominent figures who
have made notable contributions.
