Murray examines Wayland's religious beliefs and his contributions to the development of Baptist theology, as well as his work as a social reformer and advocate for abolition.Throughout the book, Murray provides a detailed look at Wayland's personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his relationships with other notable figures of the time, such as Abraham Lincoln and William Lloyd Garrison. The book also delves into Wayland's role as president of Brown University and his impact on the institution's growth and development.Overall, Francis Wayland is a comprehensive and engaging biography that offers readers a deep understanding of one of the most influential figures in American Baptist history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
