Very few Baptists in the antebellum South carried the influence mingled with the grace and gifts to be what one could describe as “the leading voice of his generation.” But for Basil Manly, Sr. (1768-1868), such an accolade was no exaggeration. Manly was fitted in his demeanor, sanctified in his character, and suited with just the right gifts to enable him to serve his fellow Baptists (and evangelicals at large) on multiple fronts with exemplary influence. And yet, such a figure like this in church history has been all but forgotten. In this present volume, Kurt Smith seeks to remedy this problem, as he writes in short compass a readable, accessible, and candid biography on the life and legacy of Basil Manly, Sr. Readers will be inspired, encouraged, and challenged by what they see in this one Christian man of whom it was said, “[he combined’ such excellencies, and achieved such usefulness, as are unusual even in a generation of men.”
