About this title

Synopsis

Uncover the early debates over baptism in England and America

This historical study examines whether Anabaptists in England practiced immersion before 1641 and surveys contemporary voices on the baptism question, including the 1639 Providence episode and the American connections that followed. A careful, document‑driven look at how Baptists and their peers argued about baptism, scripture, and church practice.

Drawing on preserved manuscripts and archival material, this work traces the movement of believers toward immersion, weighing competing accounts and the roles of key figures. It explains how early English Baptists, Dutch Anabaptists, and early Rhode Island communities influenced each other in the formation of Baptist identity.

Learn how scholars compare independent accounts and later chronicles to reconstruct events
See how the question of baptism as immersion vs. other forms shaped church life
Explore the cross‑Atlantic ties between England, Holland, and New England
Understand the historical context behind early Baptist terminology and practice

Ideal for readers of religious history and those curious about the roots of Baptist baptism in the 17th century.
