Book excerpt: Baptist history is a tapestry of struggling with the predominant theologies of their times, a struggle that often found them either dying at the end of a stake or railing against the prevailing interpretation of the Bible in their time period. The when, where and how of baptism, the place of children in the church, the order and life of the church, and how they integrated with other believers frame much of their rich and varied history.
