No American denomination identified itself more closely with the nations democratic ideal than the Baptists Most antebellum southern Baptist churches allowed women and slaves to vote on membership matters and preferred populists preachers who addressed their appeals to the common person Paradoxically no denomination could wield religious authority as zealously as the Baptists Between 1785 and 1860 they ritually excommunicated forty to fifty thousand church members in Georgia alone Wills demonstrates how a denomination of freedomloving individualists came to embrace an exclusivist spiritualitya spirituality that continues to shape Southern Baptist churches in contemporary conflicts between moderates who urge tolerance and conservatives who require belief in scriptural inerrancy Willss analysis advances our understanding of the interaction between democracy and religious authority and will appeal to scholars of American religion culture and history as well as to Baptist observers
