Añadir al carritoPaperback. Condición: Very Good. Second Edition. Full title: Historical Facts versus Historical Fictions. Part I: The First Baptist Church in America, NOT founded or pastored by Roger Williams, and his invalid baptism never transmitted to any Baptist Church; but Dr. John Clarke was the founder and pastor fo the First Baptist Chu…rch in America, at Newport, R.I., and the author and procurer of the First Charter that secured free and full religious liberty for Baptists and all denominations.""Part II. A Brief History of Roger Williams, Dr. John Clarke, and O. Holmes, and of the cruel persecutions endured by them and the First Baptists of New England for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus".Written from a 19th-century Baptist (particularly Landmark-influenced) viewpoint, the book seeks to establish historical priority for the Newport congregation and to correct what Adlam and Graves saw as ?historical fictions.? It stresses continuity of Baptist principles, the importance of valid baptism, and the sufferings of early Baptists under Puritan authorities in Massachusetts.The work remains of interest to students of Baptist historiography, especially those examining debates over origins, succession, and the relative claims of the Providence and Newport churches.ABOUT THIS COPY: Softcover, the binding is covered in clear contact paper to protect it.
