'The Second Reformation' Released by Liberty University Press

Liberty University Press recently released "The Second Reformation: Baptists in Colonial America," a historical text on the evolution of one of the major American Christian denominations: Baptists. Author Bruce Snavely details the driving forces behind the evolution and growth of American Baptists, while answering the question "Whatever happened to the Christian Reformation which began under Martin Luther?"

"This book endeavors to present the Second Reformation not only through the lens of Luther's movement, but that of the historical dissent community preceding it," Snavely said. "One of the greatest histories of modern religious groups belongs to this non-descript group of Baptists who emerged from the Great Awakening convinced that God required Biblical obedience coupled with the continuous need for revival."

Snavely's well-documented text includes extensive footnotes and a bibliography for students, scholars, or any individual interested in the field of religious studies. "The Second Reformation: Baptists in Colonial America" is now available in paperback on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
