What is In Search of the New Testament Church: The Baptist Story (Baptists: History, Literature, Theology, Hymns) about?

When John Smyth Organized The First Baptist Church, He Wanted To Establish The New Testament Church; Believer's Baptism Was The Missing Link. Baptists Of Subsequent Eras Often Continued The Search To Embody New Testament Christianity. Unique To Surveys Of Baptist Life, Doug Weaver Highlights This Restorationist Theme As A Way To Understand Baptist Identity. Weaver Does Not Force The Theme, But The Search Is Ever Present. It Is Found In The Insistence Upon Believer's Baptism, But Also In Examples Like The Sabbath Worship Of Seventh Day Baptists, The Nine Rites Of Colonial Separate Baptists, The Women Preachers Of Free Will Baptists, The Trail Of Blood Of Landmarkism, The Social Gospel Of Walter Rauschenbusch, The Fundamentals Of Fundamentalism And The Ministry Of The European Pioneer Johann Oncken. Both Chronological And Thematic, This Book Addresses Such Themes As The Role Of Women, The Social Gospel, Ecumenism, Charismatic Influences, And Theological Emphases In Baptist Life. The Book's Focus Is America, But It Also Includes Helpful Introductory Chapters On Early English Baptists And International Baptists.--jacket.
