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”.

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.

Different Shades Of Calvinism
This article was written for the Earthen Vessel in the year 1909, the author unknown. However, there is a reference at the end which leads me to believe William Styles was the writer. His views, generally speaking, were representative of the Strict and Particular Baptist denomination at the time. Of course, this included not only the churches in association with the Metropolitan Association of Strict Baptist Churches and the Strict Baptist Mission, but many other churches and believers in subscription to the Earthen Vessel. These churches and organizations were Hyper-Calvinists by creed and conviction.

4 18th Century Covenant Theology: A Single Covenant For A Complete Gospel
I would like to welcome you back to another study in the Word of God. This is now our fourth study in a little series we started just over a month ago. By way of review, we began the series by looking at the Scripture structure of 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17. The general theme of the passage is the Privilege of Brotherhood. In our second study, we looked more closely at verses 13 and 14, where we discovered three branches of the Covenant of Grace—the electing love of the Father, the redeeming grace of the Son and the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit.
