Beschreibungen
Baptists arrived in what would become Canada in the mid-eighteenth century, and from those early arrivals Baptists from a wide variety of backgrounds planted churches in every region of the vast nation. This book traces that history of Baptists in Canada, and provides historical antecedents and theological rationales for their church polity. Written in a generous spirit, it recognizes what Baptists share with other Christian communities and how they differ among themselves on some matters. It places Baptists in Canada in the larger historical and global context, and concludes with commentary on opportunities and challenges ahead.
Gordon L. Heath, FRHistS, is Professor of Christian History, the Centenary Chair in World Christianity, and director of the Canadian Baptist Archives at McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

“The Baptists of Canada are diverse—by region, by ethnic background, and even by denominational allegiance. Yet they have common roots among seventeenth-century Christians who came to appreciate that the church should consist of self-conscious believers and be entered by believer’s baptism. Here their convictions and practices are carefully traced—and explained with an eye to the future.”

<br> “My only complaint with this book is that it wasn’t written earlier! This excellent study is just the volume I have been looking for to use with my seminary students and candidates for Baptist ordination. It also provides valuable content for church leaders and members in the Canadian Baptist context and beyond. It’s the authoritative book on Canadian Baptists.”

<br> “The authors of this fine work have carefully put Canadian Baptists and their principles in their historical context in such a way that the material is accessible to laity and college students. Using their grasp of Baptist history and beliefs, they even offer suggestions for potential church ministry in the twenty-first century.”

<br> “The authors capture the distinctive history of the Baptist movement in Canada. Equipped with the insights of historians, they provide a roadmap for understanding the diversity and shared realities of a group of churches whose polity and congregational government evokes controversy and mission all at the same time. Caught in the religious fabric of both mainline and evangelical streams of church life, Baptists in Canada play a unique role in leadership and influence. Heath, Friesen, and Murray capture this reality. A great addition to studies of religion in Canada.”
