Written for both scholars and nonscholars, this second edition is a carefully crafted resource on Baptist heritage, topically arranged and historically thorough. For those interested in the spread of Baptist faith worldwide, this volume will enhance their knowledge and understanding of key persons, events, and issues of importance. . . . Recommended. * CHOICE, October 2009 * The author is one of the most distinguished authorities on the Baptists....The overall feel of the volume is not overly academic, making it a good fit for public as well as academic libraries. * Booklist, November 2009 * In 1609, John Smyth baptized himself and others, a daring act that marks the beginning of the Baptist movement. This revised and expanded edition commemorates the 400th anniversary of that event. The bibliography was updated to include useful Baptist websites and to incorporate recent scholarship and publications. * American Reference Books Annual * Bill Brackney has produced an amazing work, seeking to provide a wide range of entries about Baptists from William Aberhart to Baptists in Zimbabwe…. Brackney has drawn on thirty-plus years of wider Baptist involvement and the insights of friends throughout the world Baptist family to produce this remarkable and impressible volume. * Journal Of European Baptist Studies, May, 2010 * William Brackney has contributed a valuable volume—a summary of Baptist principles set in historical perspective in a comprehensive reference work. This book would serve as a helpful guide for a new members' class, for a churchwide study, or for individual instruction. -- Ken Champ, June 15, 2009 * Baptist Standard, (Newspaper) *
