History

A central focus of Andrew Hogue's work was tracing the evolution of mainstream Baptist thought in South Central Kentucky (Allen, Barren, and Monroe Counties) over the past fifty years. Doing this resulted in substantial documentation of the experiences and beliefs of several ministers, deacons, and other church members.
