Baptist history in Delaware has a character and value all its own. It is unique. It is not distinguished simply by the place of its enactment, a corner cut off from a uniform piece of cloth. Its lessons are its own, and it teaches them in its own way. One lesson, especially, of utmost import it makes solemnly and sadly prominent. Perhaps nowhere else in this country has Antinomianism, with its natural, if not inseparable, attendants of anti-missionism, anti-Sunday-school-ism, and all the other kindred anti-isms, so impressively by its fruits proved its origin, nature, and doom. In doing this it has also proved with like certainty its antagonism to the genuine Baptist faith and practice. - Introduction.

"The history of black people in the United States is a history of challenge and resilience, of suffering and solidarity, of injustice and prophetic resistance. It is a history steeped in the hope and strength that African Americans have derived from their faith in God and from the church that provided safety, community, consolation, and empowerment. In this new volume from pastor and scholar Rev. Dr. Wayne Croft, the history of the black Baptist church unfolds-from its theological roots in the Radical Reformation of Europe and North America, to the hush arbors and praise houses of slavery's invisible institution, to the evolution of distinctively black denominations. In a wonderfully readable narrative style, the author relates the development of diverse black Baptist associations and conventions, from the eighteenth century through the twentieth century's civil rights movement. Ideal for clergy and laity alike, the book highlights key leaders, theological concepts, historic events, and social concerns that influenced the growth of what we know today as the diverse black Baptist family of churches"--
