SynopsisThis 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 Gills 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 Wesleys perspective on Calvinism.The tercentennial of Gills 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., This volume of essays examines various aspects of the thought of John Gill - his trinitarianism, soteriology, ecclesiology, use of Scripture - and in so doing, offers some key insights into the worldview of the transatlantic Baptist community of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries., 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.
