Overview
The First Church In Providence, Not The Oldest Of The Baptists In America (1850) is a historical account written by Samuel Adlam. The book explores the history of the First Baptist Church in Providence, Rhode Island, which is often mistakenly thought to be the oldest Baptist church in America. Adlam provides evidence to show that the First Church in Newport, Rhode Island, was actually founded earlier. The book traces the origins of the First Church in Providence, which was established in 1638 by Roger Williams, a Puritan minister who was banished from Massachusetts for his religious beliefs. Adlam examines the role of the church in the early history of Rhode Island, including its involvement in the establishment of religious freedom in the colony. The book also provides biographical information about the early pastors of the church and describes the growth and development of the congregation over time. Overall, The First Church In Providence, Not The Oldest Of The Baptists In America is a fascinating historical account that sheds new light on the early history of the Baptist church in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
