The book presents a fairly well-rounded account, including both positive and negative events and ways of reacting to history. As expected when a history is written by practicing members of the organization under review, the negatives are far more selective than the positives. That said, this is far from being an uncritical history. The authors have done a commendable job of presenting many of the negatives, which is no easy task when talking about one's own belief system.
This should be read by any practicing Baptist to gain a better overall view of their history and how it is woven into American history. Non-Baptists will also gain a better perspective on those same topics and also give a more rounded view of the religion than they may have from the media dominance of fundamentalist strands of the Baptist religion.
