Baptist History
OVERVIEW
Brothers and sisters, join us for this 12 week study through church history as we give special attention to baptist history, particularly to the history of, what are today called, Reformed Baptists. Our primary text will be, “Baptists Through the Centuries”, by David Bebbington. As usual I will teach the class assuming that you have not read, but please read the material before class if you are able. Remember, Sunday school will be available for your children during this time.
