Description

"Transatlantic Brethren recreates the Atlantic community of Baptists in Britain and America by focusing on the correspondence and connections of the Rev. Samuel Jones of Pennepek, near Philadelphia. Themes such as shared news of gospel success, the development of Baptist associations, and a learned ministry made for meaningful, if not always harmonious, communication between Baptists on both sides of the Atlantic during the eighteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
