Keith Harper and C. Martin Jacumin

Many Baptists were persecuted for their faith in late-eighteenth-century Virginia but only two, James Ireland and Joseph Craig, left first-hand accounts of their struggles. Esteemed Reproach: The Lives of Reverend James Ireland and Reverend Joseph Craig brings these two works together for the first time and offers readers a vivid account of religious persecution in colonial Virginia and the price some were willing to pay for their freedom.

Keith Harper is currently professor of Church History at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. He is the author of Send the Light: Lottie Moon’s Letters and Other Writings (Mercer University Press) and Rescue the Perishing: Selected Correspondence of Annie W. Armstrong (Mercer University Press).

Marty Jacumin had a previous career in textile machinery sales. He then received his M.Div. (Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) and is now a PhD. candidate at (SEBTS).
