Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Baptists The Only Thorough Religious Reformers"" is a book written by John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, in 1833. In this book, Adams argues that Baptists are the only true reformers of Christianity. He traces the history of the Baptist movement from its origins in Europe to its spread in America, highlighting the key figures and events that shaped the movement. Adams praises the Baptists for their commitment to individual liberty, separation of church and state, and strict adherence to biblical teachings. He also criticizes other denominations, particularly the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church, for their perceived failures in upholding these values. Overall, ""Baptists The Only Thorough Religious Reformers"" is a passionate defense of the Baptist faith and its role in shaping American religious and political life.It is evident, then, that the Baptists suffered merely because they maintained that they ought ""to obey God rather than man."" They found no direction in the Bible for the baptism of infants, and therefore they refused to observe the rite. The Reformed or Protestant churches sought to force them to do it, in opposition to their convictions. They maintained that this was also contrary to the spirit of the Gospel, and thus, in defence of the Bible, and the rights of conscience, they died.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
