History of the English Calvinistic Baptists 1771-1892: from John Gill to C. H. Spurgeon
Robert W. Oliver, BOT.
Emerging Deconstructionism
This book is based on Robert Oliver’s 1985 doctoral dissertation. His title is misleading. It is not a history of the British Calvinistic Baptists but, as Michael Haykin’s Foreword explains, an analysis of controversies regarding …

Sir:
Kenneth Harris’ recommendation of Rutherford’s insistence on justification in time contradicts the Anglican Reformers who spoke of a three-fold manifestation of justification i.e. from eternity, in the conscience and at glorification. So, too, Presbyterian Reformers such as Witsius outlined justification in nine stages from eternity into time. Our Reformers accounted the …
Sir,
J.R. Brogan writes (Aug, 10/17), “There may be other readers who, like Dr. Ella, cannot see why ‘Rev. 18:1-4 cannot be lightly dismissed as irrelevant today’”. Those new to the debate will thus be led to believe that I lightly dismiss this Scriptural exhortation and find it irrelevant to the European problem. Mr. Brogan’s reference was to words that I wrote and meant …
An Open Letter to Thomas Ascol and Earnest C. Reisiger,
Editors of The Foundation Journal.
Dear Brethren in Christ,
You will be aware that until the late eighties in Britain and on the Continent of Europe, the issue of Calvinism v. Hyper-Calvinism was not a major factor in evangelical debate. There is much evidence to suggest that it was not even a minor factor. After 1988, however, certain orthodox Calvinistic …

Editors of The Foundation Journal.
Dear Brethren,
I trust that my last letter was received safely in the spirit I sent it and that my heart reached your heart through my words, clumsy as they were. I am unused to this kind of correspondence and need to mould and manage my words so that they are honouring to God. Any help or advice you can give me to this …

… still find good writing reminiscent of William Cowper, a great deal of food for thought and an earnest display of sincerity which no sensible man could possibly scorn. My appetite is more than whetted for the further volumes on Kinghorn planned and I am thrilled with the prospect that the Particular Baptist Press is not neglecting the American saints and a biography of John Gano (1727-1804), well-known for his pastoral care of George Washington, will be published shortly. Fellow readers …

Missionary McCoy

Dear Sir,
Re. Wolter Smit’s letter of October/November: Before writing my New Focus essay on McCoy, I had researched Isaac McCoy’s correspondence with Wilson Thompson and the Miami County Association, recording my findings in another work. Thompson respected McCoy highly and assisted him to baptise Corbly Martin, the first teacher in McCoy’s Indian School. Martin asked the Miami …
What is a Baptist?
Aug 21
Dear Brethren,
Before I had the privilege of joining this symposium, I felt that I knew quite well what a Baptist church was. My simple definition was that a Baptist church consisted of a body of believers who had joined together in fellowship, chosen a pastor and deacons, preferably out of their own midst, and decided, on what they held to be Biblical grounds, to require water …
