A CONCISE HISTORY OF THE BAPTISTS

By G.H. Orchard
Baptist Minister, Steventon, Bedfordshire, England, 1838, 1855

Taken from the New Testament, the first fathers, early writers, and historians of all ages; chronologically arranged; exhibiting their churches with their order in various countries under different names from the establishment of Christianity to the present age: with correlative information, supporting the early and only practice of believers’ immersion: also observations and notes on the abuse of the ordinance, and the rise of minor and infant baptism thereon, intended for juvenile branches of their churches.
