About Gregory A. (Adjunct Professor of Church History Wills
View all books by Gregory A. (Adjunct Professor of Church History WillsDescription of Democratic Religion
No American denomination identified itself more closely with the nation's democratic ideals than did the Baptists. Yet paradoxically no denomination wielded religious authority more effectively than they did. Wills traces this dichotomy to two rival strains within the Baptist church - moderates who emphasized personal religious freedom and tolerance, and fundamentalists who preached discipline.
