Charles Haddon Spurgeon had this to say about Cramp’s Baptist History:
“Dr. Cramp has long been a laborious, painstaking student of ecclesiastical history, and his works have been distinguished by some of the higher qualities of a historian. His book on Baptist History is not intended for students; at least, it is thrown into a popular mould, and will be more acceptable to general readers, to whom we most heartily recommend it. All Baptists should possess a copy, and even those of our readers who do not sympathise with our view of the ordinance of baptism, will probably be glad to know what the immersionists have to say about themselves. The time is past, we hope, when religious rancour forbids one body of believers to take an interest in another. The work is pleasantly written, and so tastefully produced, that it would form an acceptable gift to our young men and maidens.” —THE SWORD & TROWEL, August 1868.
This historical textbook dives deeply into the time of the Baptists from the foundation of the Christian Church to the close of the eighteenth century. It is ideal for Bible colleges and for any Christian who desires to know more about the heritage of Baptists through the centuries.
