Many today, who call themselves Baptists, are totally ignorant of the history and beliefs of their early forefathers. As a result, they mistakenly label those today who are holding historic Baptist beliefs and practices as heretical—or at best they say such people just cannot be Baptists!
A Journey in Baptist History is the story about Ira Pointer, the central character of our “journey” books, who has been invited to speak for a number of weeks on Baptist history in a somewhat typical present day Baptist church. And when he teaches the true history and doctrine of the early Baptists, one man especially, the Chairman of the Deacons, tries every way possible to close down the studies. Ira Pointer, he thinks, is not a Baptist! The other people of the church are also shocked at what they hear, but they are gracious enough to listen to the presentation with open hearts and minds, and then they are shocked at what they had never been taught about Baptist history and doctrine!
Much turmoil and danger unfolds in both mystery and uncertainty, as Ira with the backing of Dink and the pastor sets forth his convictions concerning Baptist history!
