American Baptist Quarterly is a publication that seeks to inquire in-depth into the nature of who we are as Baptists, especially those traditions that have come together in the member churches that are part of the fellowship of American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A.
Each issue contains articles, research and documentation to help the reader understand our heritage, our present resources and our future direction as Baptist Christians. Upcoming issues include a focus on Bible translation, the 300th anniversary of the birth of Isaac Backus, and Baptists in Puerto Rico. The winning essay from the Torbet Prize competition is published annually in the ABQ.
The Quarterly is written for the average educated reader – lay or clergy. It is financed by reader subscriptions, individual and bulk sales, and contributions from the American Baptist Historical Society and the national boards of American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A.
