By Henry Melville King

Book Overview

The Baptism of Roger Williams: A Review of W. H. Whitsitt's Inference is a book written by Henry Melville King in 1897. The book focuses on the controversy surrounding the baptism of Roger Williams, a prominent American theologian and founder of the colony of Rhode Island. King provides a thorough review of the arguments put forth by William H. Whitsitt, a Baptist historian who had claimed that Williams was not baptized by immersion, as is the tradition in the Baptist church. King refutes Whitsitt's arguments and provides evidence to support the claim that Williams was indeed baptized by immersion. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and historians interested in the history of the Baptist church in America and the life of Roger Williams.With An Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
