Description
The Primitive Baptists were a religious movement that originated in the early 1800s. They opposed the spread of Christianity through missionary work, believing that the gospel should be preached to all people, not just to those who were baptized in accordance with Christian tradition. The Primitive Baptists were a significant part of the anti-mission movement, and their beliefs had a significant impact on American Christianity in the Early Republic.
This study describes the creation of the Primitive Baptist movement and discusses the main outlines of their thought. It also weaves the story of the Primitive Baptists with other developments in American Christianity in the Early Republic.
