The Wapping Baptists

Church history often focuses on significant events or individuals, while neglecting the everyday lives of ordinary church members. The Wapping Baptists explores the culture and convictions of a congregation. While the church has attracted some attention from historians--primarily, because of the published works of one of its pastors, Hercules Collins--this book explores the interplay between doctrine and devotion. That is, beyond its pastors, who were the people? What did they value? How did they apply these values? And then, how did they document their decisions and actions?
