Nancy Ammerman

Baptist Battles

Social Change and Religious Conflict in the Southern Baptist Convention

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a peculiar mixture of sociological curiosity and personal involvement. It is a scientific analysis of a denomination in conflict, and it is indirectly the story of the author's own religious odyssey. The story told here of consensus moving toward division is also the story of his own journey from unquestioning acceptance to alienation.
