Baptisten weltweit

"The Baptist movement is a post-Reformation church in the Reformation tradition, as it was understood and received by English Puritanism on its separatist wing. Since its inception, it has not been uniform but varied. In this volume, therefore, numerous contributions by different authors are combined, each in the translation of the editor, which is initially devoted to the emergence and development of the Baptist movement, then to its missionary endeavors and to the Baptist teachings. After a separate subsection on women in the Baptist movement, a comprehensive overview of Baptists in all parts of the world rounds off the overall picture. "
