Excerpt from A History of the Liberty Baptist Association: From Its Organization in 1832 to 1906; Containing Much History Incidentally Connected With This Body Twenty-five years ago, or more, I began, in a purposeless way, to collect historical data relating to the Baptists in this immediate section of the State. As I proceeded, I found that a love of such work was growing upon me and from year to year I was adding to my stock of material. Then it was decided to leave no stone unturned until everything available in our part of the State was found and secured. Having found and examined every old record that might be laid under tribute, the author now believes that he has a grasp on almost everything relating to the Baptists in the section covered by the Association and surrounding country. In getting all relating to the Association it was found that there was much matter possessing general interest, incident ally connected with our Associational history. This it was believed would be welcomed by the reader. One thing kept constantly in view was to be historically correct in every statement, so far as possible.

Before the Bible Belt fastened itself across the South, competing factions of evangelicals fought over their faith's future, and a contrarian sect, self-named the Primitive Baptists, made its stand. Joshua Guthman here tells the story of how a band of antimissionary and antirevivalistic Baptists defended Calvinism, America's oldest Protestant creed, from what they feared were the unbridled forces of evangelical greed and power. In their harrowing confessions of faith and in the quavering uncertainty of their singing, Guthman finds the emotional catalyst of the Primitives' early nineteenth-century movement: a searing experience of doubt that motivated believers rather than paralyzed them. But Primitives' old orthodoxies proved startlingly flexible. After the Civil War, African American Primitives elevated a renewed Calvinism coursing with freedom's energies. Tracing the faith into the twentieth century, Guthman demonstrates how a Primitive Baptist spirit, unmoored from its original theological underpinnings, seeped into the music of renowned southern artists such as Roscoe Holcomb and Ralph Stanley, whose "high lonesome sound" appealed to popular audiences searching for meaning in the drift of postwar American life. In an account that weaves together religious, emotional, and musical histories, Strangers Below demonstrates the unlikely but enduring influence of Primitive Baptists on American religious and cultural life.
