“When W. H. Whitsitt published A Question in Baptist History (1896), the controversy over Baptist Successionism was already in full swing. … McGoldrick has produced an excellent revisitation of this question giving a theologically sound and historically adjudicated presentation of Baptist identity and origins.”

Where do Baptists come from?
This work addresses the idea known as Baptist “successionism,” the claim that Baptists can trace an unbroken line of churches back through medieval and ancient groups all the way to the New Testament. The author notes that while this view has been widely circulated in some circles, it has not been seriously defended in a sustained, documented study.
In response, the book offers a careful, research-based critique of successionism and argues for a historically grounded understanding of Baptist origins as a Protestant movement arising from the Reformation era. Rather than relying on assumed historical links, it examines the evidence and seeks to present a clearer account of where Baptists actually come from and how they should understand their place in church history.
The volume also reflects the author’s broader aim of providing Baptists with a thoughtful and accessible resource on a topic that has often been treated in passing or left unaddressed in scholarly form. It is intended to encourage a more accurate reading of history and a better appreciation of Baptist identity within the wider Protestant tradition.

This was my first introduction to church history . I found it was an easy read. The author seems to be a careful historian, and he seeks to tell an accurate portrayal of history of the Baptists, and how baptists can be traced back to the reformation. Also, I was introduced to groups whose names I have heard thrown around loosely before, like the Waldenses and and Anabaptists. It’s wild to see what their beliefs were! McGoldrick does a good job showing a unbiased picture of these groups.
