Contents:
Who are the Primitive Baptists? -- Doubts still assail me -- Filthy lucre, hired nurses, and the suckling preacher -- Rocking Daniel -- The lonesome sound.
Summary: Before the Bible Belt fastened itself across the South, competing factions of evangelicals fought over their faith's future, and a contrarian sect, self-named the Primitive Baptists, made its stand. This book tells the story of how a band of antimissionary and antirevivalistic Baptists defended Calvinism, America's oldest Protestant creed, from what they feared were the unbridled forces of evangelical greed and power.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
