A Necessary Apology for the Baptized Believers Wherein They Are Vindicated From the Accusations of W. Pratt in His Epistle to J. Woodward

This powerful defense of the Baptists against their persecutors is a testimony to their faith and courage. Joseph Hooke presents a biblical and historical case for the legitimacy of the Baptist denomination, and refutes the slanderous charges brought against them. He argues that the Baptist belief in adult baptism by immersion is grounded in the New Testament and is a sign of personal commitment to Jesus Christ.
