Description

“On this little volume Gaustad has provided us with fine number one source material on somewhat-known Baptist of the 17th century. [Obadiah Holmes’s] document itself is of considerable interest, since we have now so few personal accounts from early Baptists, but even so the outstanding men like Roger Williams. Reading Holmes, one recognizes the deep roots of evangelical piety in The united states. . . . Valuable as the text is, the editor’s introduction makes the book way more significant. . . . Gaustad provides a fine account of the events that were the context for Holmes’s life and action, [and] abundant and well-chosen excerpts from debates and trials give you the reader with a powerful sense of the wishes and hopes of the men who struggled to bring more than a few brands of holiness to New England.”—New England Quarterly
