A Distinctive People - Paperback

by Brian R. Talbot (Editor)

A Distinctive People is the first detailed academic study of some important themes amongst Baptists in Scotland in the twentieth century. The authors, specialists in their field, evaluate aspects of the history of Baptists with critical and academic awareness--attitudes to war and pacifism, the influence of the charismatic movement, involvement in social action, contributions to ecumenical relations, the logical influences on Baptists, home mission, key leaders within the denomination, men and women, both those ordained to patoral ministry and lay-people. This book is bound to be a seminal study of this subject for years to come.
