Colwell -- Regent's Reviews\u003cbr\u003eRefreshingly informative. -- Choice\u003cbr\u003eCurtis Freeman's Undomesticated Dissent is a timely read for Christians of all stripes, not just Baptists and their kin, who are its main audience. It raises fundamental questions about the role of opposition in how we conceive of Christianity, and that is exactly the reason you should read it and discuss it with your friends who care about the unity of the church. -- Lori Branch -- Commentary Magazine\u003cbr\u003eWhen one chooses a topic that is centered around nonconformity, anarchism, resistance, symbolism, and subversion, one runs the risk of a disordered narrative, but also gains the possibility of breaking new ground, of taking the reader into new lands, or new depths. This is the cost-benefit dilemma that Curtis W. Freeman embraces in Undomesticated Dissent, as he presses the tradition of religious dissent in England in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (and beyond), and offers his provocative and passionate reading of several provocative and passionate writers. -- Michael R. Stevens -- Journal of Markets \u0026amp; Morality\u003cbr\u003eCurtis Freeman has written a book as unexpected as it is timely...This book is creative and constructive, instructive and inspiring. It is a book that cannot be merely read but lived. -- Spencer Boersma -- Reading Religion\u003cbr\u003eFreeman's compelling narrative bears out the complexity of a religious phenomenon characterized more by existential fortitude and a willingness to challenge authority than a set of fixed principles or doctrines. -- J. Scott Jackson -- The Christian Century\u003cbr\u003eIlluminating and thought provoking in its sweeping view of the nonconformist tradition. -- Ian Birch -- Baptist Union of Scotland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
