Walter B. Shurden presents a heritage of denominational controversy and shows how this history continues to shape and affect Baptists today, in this second edition.

First published in 1972, this revision includes an additional chapter, a second preface and gender-free language throughout the text.

"If religious controversy is an index of how much people care, then Baptists care more than any group in the world. Nothing can be understood until you know its history. For that reason, the Baptist heritage matters."

--From the Preface

Walter B. Shurden, the Callaway Professor of Christianity and Chair of the Roberts Department of Christianity at Mercer University, is the author of numerous works about Baptist history and editor of the Proclaiming the Baptist Vision series published by Smyth & Helwys.
