dc.descriptiongion, including the later Pentecostal-Holiness groups. This is an important book because it fully examines the ministry of Shubal Stearns and is well-presented and documented. Such books usually come from remote scholars at a university, especially if published by a university press. This book is important because it comes from a practicing preacher living among people who share some of the same characteristics of Stearns’s congregants: being relatively isolated from mainline society, leading sometimes hard lives, feeling a need of the gospel, and looking for choices in doctrine. Sparks, like other old-time Baptists, does not receive a salary from his congregation. He compares himself to the old “farmer-preachers” such as Shubal Stearns, although he calls himself a “technician-preacher,” since he supports his family as a laboratory technician in a hospital. This book then is a labor of love, wrenched out of long and difficult study through mail orders, interlibrary loans, and the Internet.en_US
