Description

Book Synopsis
A distinctive Afro-Baptist faith emerged as African religious emphasis on spirit possession, soul-travel, and rebirth combined with evangelical faith. This book presents the history of the Alabama Missionary Baptist State Convention - its origins, churches, associations, conventions, and leaders. It also explores the role of women.

Trade Review
This work makes a significant contribution to the study of American church history. It is clear and does a good job of surfacing figures, communities, and their roles in the history of Black Baptists in Alabama. - Stephen G. Ray Jr., author of Do No Harm: Social Sin and Christian Responsibility
