Opis

In the decade prior to America declaring independence from England, the Virginia colony persecuted, prosecuted, and abused over thirty Baptist ministers. One of the first preachers hauled before the court was Lewis Craig (1737-1825). While on trial, Craig preached Christ launching the Baptist fight for religious liberty in Virginia. Years later he would migrate to Kentucky and become a prominent pastor and church planter. This volume tells the story of this pioneer Baptist preacher from his struggle for liberty in the Old Dominion to his pastoral work in the Bluegrass. First published in 1910, Lewis Thompson offers the only full biography available. This volume has updated Thompson's original volume with additional information.
