Andrew Fuller: A Liberal Theologian
Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) was a Moderate-Calvinist Particular Baptist preacher. He served as pastor for the churches meeting at Soham (1775-1782) and Kettering (1782-1815). He became a prolific writer whose teachings not only revived the moderate Calvinism of the 17th century, but also introduced a number of modifications to orthodox Christianity. His influence spearheaded the division of the Particular Baptist churches into two distinguishable denominations. Fuller labelled these denominations “Hyper-Calvinists” and “Strict-Calvinists”.

The Life And Testimony Of John Vincent Jr.
Mr. Editor,—I have received from different parts, and from friends, a desire to know about the life and death of my dear son, JOHN VINCENT, junr. He departed this life on Lord's-day evening; January 8, at 5:30, p.m., after a short but severe illness, lasting only about sixteen days, at the age of fourteen years. He was first taken with a severe cold; this turned to Gastric Fever, then a gathering in his right ear, from a tumour; which ended his sufferings.

Book Review: Robert Oliver’s “History Of The English Calvinistic Baptists”
This book is based on Robert Oliver’s 1985 doctoral dissertation. His title is misleading. It is not a history of the English Calvinistic Baptists but, as Michael Haykin’s Foreword explains, an analysis of controversies regarding communion, the use of the law and the so-called free offer. These are discussed at an inter-denominational level with chapter-long references to Non-Baptist William Huntington, set up as the arch-contender against Dr Oliver’s modernistic Emergence Theology.

The Life And Ministry Of Thomas Collinge
He was born in 1810 at Blackley, near Manchester. His parents being very poor, his lot was but a rough and hard one. His father died when Thomas was about nine years of age, leaving a widow and five children, of whom Thomas was the eldest. About this time he was turned upon the world, and, to use his own words, “’We were much dependent on other people. O how often have I been glad of a crust!" adding, "The people among whom I lived found that I was born in sin; for I lived as if I had no soul, and as if there was no God. As I grew in years, strength, and vigour, I spent all in sin; I hated to hear…

5 Umasking The Myths Of The Reformed Baptist Movement
I would like to welcome you back to another study in the Word of God. Well, actually, this study will be more of a history lesson, than a Bible exposition, but it forms part of the series of studies we started about a month ago, on an exposition of 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. The text is divided into four main sections—a twofold statement on the privilege of brotherhood, and a twofold statement of the gospel of salvation. It is with regard to the first statement on the gospel of salvation that has led me to bring some extra studies on the subject of covenant theology.
