    The Baptist Thread of American History
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2015*

From seed form in the first colonies, to peak-Baptist in the late 1980s, for better or for worse, the Baptist influence in America cannot be denied.  Surprisingly, following the Baptist thread of American history provides an amazingly instructive perspective for understanding the development of America, from its initial stage consisting of multiple officially Christian British colonies to its present stage of consolidated power and avowed religious neutrality.  From Roger Williams’ encounter with the fledgling Massachusetts Bay Colony in the early 1600s, to Russell Moore in 2015, "Baptists in America" engagingly covers it all.  Especially refreshing and enlightening is the bold commentary generously interjected by the authors, which keeps the history relevant and alive from beginning to end.  I thoroughly tested the highlighting limits of my Kindle app!  Baptists in America is a highly rewarding read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Readable and Insightful
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019*

Thomas Kidd and Barry Hankins bring the story of Baptists in America to life through the 252 pages of this volume. The writing is lucid. I was able to stay interested and engaged throughout the book. Kidd and Hankins trace the movement of Baptists from a persecuted minority to a cultural force. The story is compelling, no matter your view of Baptist life. The conclusion, where the authors grapple with defining a Baptist, is illuminating. In the end, Baptists represent an incredible diversity politically, theologically and socially. Kidd and Hankins rightly focus on African American Baptists throughout the book, making the important point that African American Baptists have been a powerful, but often overlooked cultural force.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    a quality telling of the Baptist story--an excellent read!
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2015*

Baptists are not the most homogenous group. This could make writing readable histories about them a significant challenge. In this volume, Kidd and Hankins provide a quality, readable, and engaging story. If you have read David Bebbington’s Baptists through the Centuries: a History of a Global People, you will find this volume fits with it like a puzzle, providing the American ‘zoom in’ that was not possible in Bebbington’s broader work. If you are looking for a book to bolster your personal Baptist polemics, this is not that book. It is even and thorough, a quality telling of the Baptist story. If you are a Baptist in America (whatever flavor), you will find your own history in the pages of this book.
