The Story of Baptists in the United States

by Pamela R. and Keith E. Durso

The Baptist History and Heritage Society excitedly announces the publication of a new 224-page narrative history of Baptists in the United States. Containing more than 160 photos and illustrations, this book presents the story of Baptists in a creative format, style, and readability. It provides keen insights into well-known and lesser-known Baptist men and women, and it gives attention to groups sometimes overlooked in general studies of Baptists: women, blacks, ethnic minorities, and small Baptist denominations.
