Bruce Gourley has the antidote for being a Baptist without
knowing what it means to be a Baptist.
 
His small yet amazingly thorough book, A Capsule History
of Baptists, is light enough for a casual reading and deep
enough to produce a solid understanding of the four-century-old
Christian movement that keeps freedom and responsibility
at the forefront of faith. All Baptists would do well to
read this volume — and do better to read it once every year.
