Here, however, noted Baptist historian Bill Leonard wades through the murky waters of the Baptist past and explores the historic commitments of this unique people - all in an effort to shed light on its contemporary dilemmas and evaluate the prospects for a Baptist future. While encouraging members of the faith to thoroughly and fairly evaluate their heritage - and its many blunders along the way - Leonard ultimately argues that the Baptists' contentious ""audacious witness"" shown throughout its history still has a worthy role to play in the twenty-first century.
