This book is No. 9 in the Paternoster Press series of Studies in Baptist History and Thought. A foreword by David Bebbington recommends the author’s diligent work in research for writing this book.
The author has sought to explore the process by which the various streams of Baptist churches, after several failed attempts, were able to come together in 1869 to form the Baptist Union of Scotland, which remains today. It is a 19th-century story, but not without a 21st-century application!
