Benjamin Tucker Tanner and the A.M.E.. Church

Benjamin Tucker Tanner played an important role in the rise of the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church in the Southern States. In this volume he not only offers a history of the church and its progress, but also a theological defence against all criticism the church had received in the years of the author. In addition to these valuable insights, Tanner also draws biographical sketches of the most important officials of this church.
