Revolution and Resistance
English Baptist Life in the Seventeenth Century
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Revolution and Resistance: English Baptist Life in the Seventeenth Century offers a fresh and richly textured exploration of Baptist identity during a century of upheaval. Edited by Stephen L. Copson and Karen E. Smith, this scholarly collection brings together leading historians to examine church life, spirituality, mission, controversy, and overlooked voices within early Baptist communities. Rather than retelling familiar political narratives, the essays probe the convictions, practices, and lived experience that shaped congregations in times of revolution. With studies ranging from covenant theology and hymnody to women’s leadership and millennial hope, this companion to B. R. White's volume illuminates the resilience, diversity, and theological depth of seventeenth-century English Baptists.
