Glory to the Three Eternal: Tercentennial Essays on the Life and Writings of Benjamin Beddome (1718-1795): 13 (Monographs in Baptist History)

This is the first critical study of the writings of the English Particular Baptist Benjamin Beddome (1718-1795) whose evangelical ministry stretched over the last half of the eighteenth century. Best known in the years following his death as a capable hymn writer he was also a significant doctrinal preacher. John Newton who had heard such preachers as John Wesley and George Whitefield considered Beddome one of the finest preachers of his day. The articles in this critical study examine his sermons to delineate Beddomes view of God Christ and the Holy Spirit as well as his position on the free offer of the gospel a central issue among the Particular Baptists of his day. His important contribution to Christian hymnody is also detailed. A must-read for those interested in eighteenth-century evangelical thought.
