Recycling the Past or Researching History?

History & Biography

“This timely and innovative book provides Baptists with a valuable introduction into the difficult task of researching their history instead of recycling their past. The effort to challenge some myths of Baptist self-understanding is rooted in careful work on sources from particular places and times in Europe and North America. This approach will be even more revealing if applied to Baptist history at a global scale.”

The Recovery of Mission

Evangelism & Missions

“Ramachandra's proposal is based on an enviable familiarity with theological discourse, an irrefutable logic, and a deep sense of mission. This is the kind of textbook I have been looking for.”
