Embracing in one common trajectory the major Baptist confessions of
faith, the major Baptist theologians, and the principal Baptist
theological movements and controversies, this book spans four
centuries of Baptist doctrinal history. Acknowledging first the
pre-1609 roots (patristic, medieval, Reformational) of Baptist
theology, it examines the Arminian versus Calvinist issues that the
General and the Particular Baptists first expressed. These issues
dominated English and American Baptist theology during the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries from Helwys and Smyth and from
Bunyan and Kiffin to Gill, Fuller, Backus, and Boyce and were
quickened by the awakenings and the missionary movement.
Concurrently, the Baptist defended distinctives vis-a-vis the
pedobaptist world and the unfolding of a strong Baptist
confessional tradition. Then during the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries the liberal versus evangelical issues became dominant
with Hovey, Strong, Rauschenbusch, and Henry in the North and
Mullins, Conner, Hobbs, and Criswell in the South even as a
distinctive Baptist Landmarkism developed, the discipline of
biblical theology was practiced and a structured ecumenism was
pursued. Missiology both impacted Baptist theology and took it to
all the continents, where it became increasingly indigenous.
Conscious that Baptists belong to the free churches and to the
believers' churches, a new generation of Baptist theologians at the
advent of the twenty-first century was somewhat more Calvinist than
Arminian and decidedly more evangelical than liberal.
