Publisher's Synopsis
Bible Societies and the Baptists is a historical account of the relationship between Bible societies and the Baptist denomination in the United States during the 19th century. Written by Charles Carroll Bitting and originally published in 1883, the book examines the origins and development of Bible societies, their mission to distribute Bibles to the masses, and the Baptist response to this movement. Bitting explores the Baptist perspective on the role of the Bible in Christian life and worship, as well as the tensions that arose between Baptists and Bible societies over issues of authority and interpretation. The book also includes biographical sketches of prominent Baptist leaders who played a key role in shaping the relationship between Bible societies and the Baptist denomination. Overall, Bible Societies and the Baptists provides a valuable historical perspective on the intersection of religion and social movements in 19th-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
