BAPTISTS IN EARLY NORTH AMERICA-FIRST BAPTIST, PROVIDENCE is the second one volume to look within the BENA Series.
Designed as a unique contribution
to religious and Baptist scholarship, BENA recovers never-before-published
original records and manuscripts for students, scholars, and genealogists. Each and every volume accommodates transcribed original seventeenth- and eighteenth-century record and manuscript material, accompanied by a historical introduction, scholarly notation, a comprehensive bibliography, and index. Specialists in Each and every volume have painstakingly prepared the texts and introductory matter.

This church, sometimes called the First Baptist Church in The us, was once founded in 1638 by Roger Williams and a group of religious outcasts from Massachusetts Bay Colony. The dozen original manuscript record books are carefully reproduced with annotations and an historical introduction by the prestigious historian of the church, J. Stanley Lemons. Also included are eighteenth-century pew rental lists and membership rosters for the congregation that evolved from Calvinistic roots, to General Six Principle, to Regular Baptist identity. This congregation was once closely related to Brown University and included a large number of pastoral luminaries–such as Confederation congressman, James Manning–as it encountered the trends of American religious history within the bustling seaport of Providence, Rhode Island.

Other assets of this volume include two appendices and a comprehensive index.
