Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of the English Baptists I have often been asked to recommend a popular history of the Baptists, and have been reluctantly compelled to reply there is no history of the English Baptists in print. The works of Crosby, Ivimey and Evans, good as far as they go, have long been out of print. The collecting of materials for this "Story" was commenced years ago at the suggestion of my friend and colleague upon the London School Board, Dr. Angus. The information grew to such proportions that I had to choose between a detailed history in three or four volumes and a popular story. I hope that this recital of the "deeds of the noble dead" will not only supply a demand, but create a desire for ampler information. Great care has been taken to secure accuracy in every detail, but this is intended to be a story rather than a detailed history. No one is more conscious of its omissions than I am. Some ancient legends which have done much to justify the dictum that "history is fable agreed upon" have been excluded. I am indebted to Dr. Dixon, of the MSS. Department of the British Museum, Mr. Atkinson, of the Public Records Office, Rev. J. B. Myers, and Mr. G. E. Evans for their ready assistance. If young Baptists by meditating upon the portraits of their ancestors catch something of their splendid heroism and deathless faith and are made stronger to wage the old war against unrighteousness, I shall have my reward.
