Authorized by the Louisiana Baptist Convention, this is the definitive work on Southern Baptists in Louisiana. It contains a variety of hitherto unpublished sources, is amplified with numerous informative biographical summaries—some of them rare and previously unknown—and is rich in descriptive and interpretive passages. While the author has corrected manifest errors in previous works, he has probed more deeply and has based this volume on a careful and thorough examination of the primary sources. He has treated with balance the various areas of study—the churches, the associations, and the Convention. In an extraordinary departure from the general run of denominational histories, the author has dealt frankly but truthfully with historical figures as persons, disclosing their faults along with their virtues. Most significantly, with revealing insight he has forcefully developed the independent character of the early denominational organizations in Louisiana, previously thought to have been offshoots from Mississippi Baptist organizations; and he has uniquely defined the decisive influence of the Southern Baptist Convention on the origin of the Louisiana Baptist Convention and the integration and unification of Baptists in Louisiana into the mainstream of Southern Baptists, a point heretofore unnoted.. ✨About✨ Publisher: Parthenon Press Year: 1973 Pages: 363 Format: Hardcover with a dust jacket 9.5*6.5*1
