En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the rise of dissent within Southern Baptist life, the book explores the shift from a dominant conservative stance to a vibrant tradition of progressive activism. Beginning in the early 20th century, figures like Walter Nathan Johnson led efforts to address social injustices, advocating for civil rights, labor rights, and women's rights. These dissenters faced significant personal risks, including job loss and violence, as they challenged entrenched societal norms and ecclesiastical structures. David Stricklin chronicles their struggles and the lasting impact of their activism.
