Beulah Baptist
Association |
Boswell, Ron. The Blessing of Beulah, A
History of the Beulah Baptist Association of North Carolina. 1984. 240 pages. This
book provides useful histories of the "missionary" Baptist churches in Person
and Caswell Counties. Chapter titles are: The Background of Beulah (70 AD - 1800), The
Beginning of Beulah (1800 - 1834), The Blossoming of Beulah (1834 - 1984), The Beliefs of
Beulah (theology), The Bounty of Beulah (church histories), and The Best of Beulah
(biographies). Today the member churches of the Beulah Baptist Church are members of the
Southern Baptist Convention. In general, however, the roots of the older of these churches
are in the Primitive Baptist faith. This background and the transition of these Person
County Baptist Churches away from the Primitive Baptist faith is addressed in the book. No
index is included. |
