By author: Jaclyn Weldon White   Foreword by: Bert Randolph Sugar

Diverging Loyalties: Baptists in Middle Georgia during the Civil War
By author: Bruce Gourley
Baptists in the South, rapidly rising to challenge Methodists numerically helped align Southern religion with the South's black slave culture. The birth of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1945, formed in order to preserve God's will for the African race, signaled the inevitability of war. This book explores the myriad of ways in which Baptists in Middle Georgia helped shape history before, during, and after the Civil War.
