As exotic as it is beautiful, Honduras evokes thoughts of bananas,
the beautiful. blue Caribbean Sea, palm trees swaying in the wind, and
a warm, balmy climate. Honduras also is a land of people God loves and has been working for
centuries to bring to Himself. For more than 100 years Baptists have been a part of God's
effort there.
Author Stanley Stamps sets the Baptist movement in Honduras in the
context of the history of that country including its economic,
political, and religious developments. This is not just a history of
Baptists in Honduras but a history of the country itself, with
Baptists taking their proper place in history. Stanley shows
the special role that Baptists, particularly Southern
Baptists, have played in sharing Christ with the Honduran people--from the
Mosquito Coast to the mountain-perched capital of Tegucigalpa. Himself
a Southern Baptist missionary, Stanley lived much of the history that
he shares in this important historical document.
