Papers, 1858-1909, 1896-1899.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122352147

These papers contain letters to William H. Whitsitt and other items dealing almost entirely with the so-called Whitsitt controversy of 1896-1899 among Southern Baptists. The Whitsitt papers contain letters from theologians, educators, Baptist clergymen and laymen in all parts of the country. Especially interesting are Whitsitt's annotations of the letters. The papers are valuable not only as a chronicle of the Whitsitt controversy but also as a source of information on the affairs of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary during his presidency. The Whitsitt Papers also contain interesting information concerning the tradition that George Washington was immersed by the Rev. John Gano.
