Not a Silent People: Controversies That Have Shaped Southern Baptists

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 is Minister at Large with Mercer University. He is author of numerous books including The Baptist Identity: Four Fragile Freedoms, Not a Silent People: Controversies that Have Shaped Southern Baptists and the five-volume Proclaiming the Baptist Vision set.
