To Follow The Lambe Wheresoever He Goeth explores church doctrine
among English Calvinistic Baptists between 1640 and 1660. It
examines the emergence of Calvinistic Baptists against the
background of the demise of the Episcopal Church of England, the
establishment by Act of Parliament of the Westminster Assembly of
Divines, and the attempted foundation of a Presbyterian Church of
England. Ecclesiology was one of the most important doctrines under
consideration in this phase of English history and this book is a
contribution to understanding alternative forms of ecclesiology
outside the mainstream National Church settlement. It argues that
the development of Calvinistic Baptist ecclesiology was a natural
development of one stream of Puritan theology, the tradition
associated with Robert Brown, and the English separatist movement.
This tradition was refined and made experimental in the work of
Henry Jacob, who founded a congregation in London in 1616 from
which Calvinistic Baptists emerged. Central to Jacob's ideology was
the belief that a rightly ordered church acknowledged Christ as
King over his people. The Christological priority of early
Calvinistic Baptist ecclesiology will constitute the primary
contribution of this study to the investigation of dissenting
theology in the period.
