Description: In the final part of Tom Nettles' trilogy, he traces some of the modern movements with the Baptist diaspora.

Nettles looks at the downgrade in the British Church through the lenses of C.H. Spurgeon and John Clifford and the decline in America looking at the influences of A. H. Strong, E. Y. Mullins and the Baptist Modernists. Key outcomes are explored that inevitably fomulate out of Baptist theology (e.g. separation of church and state).

The 'renewed contours' of the present day Baptist movement are also covered with particular reference to recent changes in the Southern Baptist Convention.

This series is a triumph! It serves as a neccessary addition to the story of the church.

"This volume completes Tom Nettles' magisterial study of Baptist history. Building on his earlier research, Nettles carries the Baptist story into our own times. A work rich in detail and offering a distinctive interpretation of the people of God called Baptists."
--Timothy George, Dead of Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama & Senior Editor of Christianity Today

"What has it meant, historically, to be a Baptist? Which modern Baptists would Charles Spurgeon recognize as his theological descendants? What happened between Spurgeon’s day and ours? Tom Nettles masterfully explores these and other important questions, setting a new standard for Baptist history. This is a book every Baptist should read. Indeed, anyone interested in the Baptists would do well to start with these three powerful volumes. Nettles has not only given us standard texts on Baptist history, the life stories told here provoke devotional meditation, desire for faithfulness, and careful thought. Praise God for these books, then read them carefully, mark them thoroughly, revisit them through the years, and impart this history to the coming generations."
--James M. Hamilton, Jr., Assistant Professor of Biblical Studies, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
