Primitive Baptists of the Wiregrass South: 1815 to the Present: University of Central Florida

Crowley has done a commendable job painting a sensitive portrait of Old Baptists in the Deep South. "Florida Historical Quarterly""" A helpful portrait of a little understood group. "Journal of Church and State""" Meticulous and enlightening. "Journal of Southwest Georgia History" A well-documented source for researchers interested in Baptist life in the Wiregrass region. "North Carolina Historical Review" Blends religious and social history to tell a story that has been neglected far too long. "American Historical Review" Baptists of any persuasion will be intrigued by Crowley s chronicle of this religion and the Primitive Baptists that inhabit it. "Faith and Mission" A sensitive and concise study of an important tradition in American religion. "Religious Studies Review" A sophisticated and entertaining denominational history. By focusing on a region where these stern, uncompromising Calvinists were at least prominent enough to survive round after round of spiritual controversy, Crowley effectively illuminates the theological schisms that have continuously riven the Baptist faith.
