Talk:The Trail of Blood

POLEMICS

This article on Carroll's Trail of Blood should be objective and not polemical. As it was, it did not have NPOV. (EnochBethany (talk) 04:41, 6 April 2011 (UTC))

I edited the polemical section you're refering to. It seems that it came from "Dan Laird, MD" who wrote a review (http://amzn.to/kHNKzB=) on the book "Baptist Successionism" at Amazon.com using the same language Coinmanj (talk) 03:05, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Carroll retracts Trail of Blood?

So I came across this article: http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/quickquestions/?qid=683 and in it, as you can see, is a quote attributed to Carroll in which he very clearly retracts his previous perspective. Now I know the article is not a proper source, but the text quoted from surely is. Does anyone have a copy so we can look at surrounding context? If Carroll really retracted it, that's probably quite relevant and should be included in this article.Farsight001 (talk) 21:39, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

The book they cited was Baptist Successionism: A Crucial Question in Baptist History by James McGoldrick. You can read the introduction on Google books, which has the passage in question. The text of the quote is correct, but it’s misattributed: James McGoldrick read The Trail of Blood, was initially convinced, and changed his mind after further study. Nowhere in the introduction does it say that Carroll himself ever retracted. Philbert^2.71828 05:19, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
