Kiffen Knollys and Keach: Rediscovering our English Baptist Heritage

Among the various Baptist groups that emerged from the religious turmoil of seventeenth-century England the Particular Baptists proved to be the most influential in terms of long-term legacy. There is a sense in which all English-speaking Baptists whatever their current theological orientation can ultimately be traced back to this community. And at the heart of this community were three key leaders: William Kiffen Hanserd Knollys and Benjamin Keach. This new edition introduces the lives and thought of each of these men along with their times other Baptist figures with whom they interacted and two vital confessions that were published respectively in 1644 and 1688.
