Paperback
Christian Focus Publications
July 2007
Coming in July of 2007, this book will complete Dr. Nettles' trilogy of books dealing with Baptist history. According to the publisher, "Nettles looks at the downgrade in the British Church through the lenses of C.H. Spurgeon and John Clifford and the decline in America looking at the influences of A. H. Strong, E. Y. Mullins and the Baptist Modernists. Key outcomes are explored that inevitably fomulate out of Baptist theology (e.g. separation of church and state)."
