| Summary: | An examination of the responses of 136 Baptist prisoners of an Indiana maximum security prison regarding religious beliefs and practices generally discloses a pattern of less orthodoxy than ascribed to either the American or Southern Baptists in the Stark and Glock Church Member and the NORC National Samples. Baptist prisoners as a group were equally or more orthodox in areas of religious beliefs, requisites for salvation, and barriers to salvation, while disclosing a pattern of lesser orthodoxy in religious belief in God and Jesus, ritualistic religious practices, religious devotionalism, religious experience, and religious knowledge. |
