The nature of Baptist identity has come to a place of critical
importance in Baptist studies. What exactly constitutes a Baptist?
Tom Nettles seeks to answer this fascinating question through
examining the lives of some of the most high profile and
influential Baptists in history. The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky has a library loaded with Baptist
materials including a rich archival collection, which Tom found
indispensable for this book. Nettles establishes a clearly
identifiable profile of Baptists. He looks at many influential
spokesmen for Baptist lives who embraced the bible as an unerring
divine revelation. From John Spilsbury to William Carey we are
taken on an enlightening journey through the origin and expansion
of the Baptist Church. Tom Nettles has produced a book that is
wonderfully informative and, through its profiles of God honouring
historical figures, should serve us encouragement to all Christians
today. Tom Nettles has produced a book that is wonderfully

Tom Nettles has written this biography of Charles Haddon Spurgeon,
the famous 19th century preacher and writer. It covers his life,
ministry and also his theology. He draws on material from The Sword
and Trowel, the magazine of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London,
where C H Spurgeon ministered.
This volume of essays focuses on the thought of John Gill, the
doyen of High Calvinism in the transatlantic Baptist community of
the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
Among the topics covered are Gill's trinitarian theology, his
soteriological views, his Baptist ecclesiology, and his use of
Scripture. Other papers are more focused, examining, for instance,
his clash with the Arminian Methodist leader John Wesley over the
issues of predestination and election, a clash that decisively
shaped Wesley's perspective on Calvinism.
The tercentennial of Gill's birth in 1997 is a fitting occasion to
issue this study of a man whose systematic theology and exposition
of the Old and New Testaments formed the mainstay of many
eighteenth-century Baptist ministers' libraries and who has never
been the subject of a major critical study.
