While preparing the first edition of Mercer UP’s Encyclopedia Of Religion in the South, in 1982, Dr. Samuel S. Hill came to the realization that one set of its ingredients made up a book in it’s own right.

Baptists historically have shared common beliefs, including believer's baptism, congregational governance, and separation of church and state. This book addresses the question of why Baptists differ in various parts of the world. A central component of the answer lies in part in the variety of cultures where Baptists have planted churches. In order to document the diversities, this study has intentionally sought contributions from Baptist scholars across the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, and eastern Europe as well as from western Europe and North America where Baptist presence is more common.
