“When W. H. Whitsitt published A Question in Baptist History (1896), the controversy over Baptist Successionism was already in full swing. … McGoldrick has produced an excellent revisitation of this question giving a theologically sound and historically adjudicated presentation of Baptist identity and origins.”
