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”.
