Author Everett Goodwin includes an overview of Baptist history in the United States as a guide to understanding Baptist faith and identity. By revealing the essential principles and distinctions of Baptist belief and by providing information on the theological and historical origins of those beliefs, this addition to the catalog of available Baptist resources is the perfect orientation tool for young people and other new Baptists. The eight-session study guide will enable individuals and small group participants to build on the book's content as they reflect on such questions as "What does it mean to be Baptist?" and "How does my Baptist orientation influence my perspective on other beliefs?"--Publisher.
