It's Here!!
In cooperation with the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board, the Historical Commission is excited to announce that Mississippi Baptists: A History of Southern Baptists in the Magnolia State is here! Dr. Bob Rogers, former Mississippi Baptist pastor and retired chaplain at Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg, has revised and updated Dr. R.A. McLemore's A History of Mississippi Baptists which was published in 1971. This new history is written in a narrative style and we hope the book will have a broad appeal to all Mississippi Baptists who want to know about their spiritual roots, as well as, Mississippians in general.
