The eighteenth century was a crucial time in Baptist history. The
denomination had its roots in seventeenth-century English
Puritanism and Separatism and the persecution of the Stuart kings,
with only a limited measure of freedom after 1689. Worse, however,
was to follow for with toleration came doctrinal conflict, a move
away from central Christian understandings and a loss of
evangelistic urgency. Both spiritual and numerical decline ensued,
to the extent that the denomination was virtually reborn as rather
belatedly it came to benefit from the Evangelical Revival which
brought new life to both Arminian and Calvinistic Baptists. It has,
however, been strongly argued that those who were associated with
Bristol College had a continuous tradition of Evangelical Calvinism
and that the General Baptists of the South Midlands and the Home
Counties, owing as much to the legacy of the Lollards as to Dutch
Anabaptism, did not succumb to heterodoxy. The papers in this
volume therefore study a denomination in transition, and relate to
theology, their views of the church and its mission, Baptist
spirituality, and engagement with radical politics.
