Sutton's essay traces how (Baptistic) individualism inevitably tends toward subjectivism and the cultural/spiritual fallout that ensues. It is gold.

#1 The Myth of Pluralism
A nation with competing ideologies can not successfully govern itself without favoring one of them.
#2 The Myth of Human Rights
"When God was removed as Law-Giver, the State became the right-giver."
#3 The Myth of Neutrality
Secular Humanism rules America by pretending it doesn't.
#4 The Myth of Practical Compromise
The Church can not win the day leaving its Sword (God's Word) sheathed.

A long and technical chapter explaining how paedobaptism was integral to Calvin's view of the Old and New Testament, and thus indispensable in his theology (contrary to what Calvinist Baptists might claim), followed by a short and rather historically enlightening chapter about Roger Williams, Baptist founder of Rhode Island. He was a very hot-headed, provocative man with revolutionary ideas, both religiously and politically, and Baptists should think twice before lionizing him.
