… in which he takes up his pet theme, Hyper-Calvinism, and back-projects it onto the teaching of Kiffin and Co., arguing that they were against it, whereas they had nothing to do with it, or rather, nothing to do with this modern controversy which is forced onto the churches, leaving havoc and destruction in its wake. This raises the question of whether we have an objective study of the three Ks before us, or are they being misused to batter down the Biblical strongholds of those who cannot …

… campaigner for educational reform
Public School expert Edward C. Mack said the poet William Cowper was a lone voice in campaigning for reform in eighteenth century English schools 1 . This may surprise poetry lovers who have not yet discovered Cowper’s writings on education. Cowper’s most neglected long poem Tirocinium or a Review of Schools, for instance, deals in detail with educational reform. Parents thinking of home-schooling their children as a legal alternative …

Taken from pp. 48-49, 52-54 in William Huntington: Pastor of Providence.
My reason for publishing this account of William Carey and his Indian mission on my website.
On 18-21 February, 2010 a conference will be held at Muscle Shoals, Alabama under the theme ‘The Quagmire of Hyper-Calvinism’.

Reflections on Some Recent Banner of Truth Criticisms Regarding William Huntington and Avarice

… of churches on a sinecure basis which brought them in huge sums. Others such as Dr John Cowper, William Cowper’s father, combined his pastorate with a lucrative sinecure governmental position. Be that as it may, when the news of Huntington’s salary travelled through the London churches, pastored by ex-public school boys and university graduates who were often paid far less, criticism grew. How could an untrained labourer earn as much as a university graduate? Thomas Scott, who always …
… absorbed into the British Empire and in 1800, Lord Wellesley, the Governor-General, founded Fort William College at Calcutta for the instruction of imperial civil servants. Chaplain David Brown, a faithful and energetic Anglican supporter of the Mission, was chosen by Wellesley as Provost. Brilliant scholars were appointed for the various posts and Brown insisted that Carey was the man most fitted to become Professor of Bengali as he had shown his academic abilities in his translation work …
Sir:
It is understandable that one who identified himself so closely with the English Reformers, Whitfield and the Marrow Men should be criticised by Arminians. For Huntington, Arminians were Antinomians who rejected the condemning and convicting use of the law in evangelism, inviting sinners to approach God “as if they had never apostatized”. They believed that man was not …
… the Stennetts, Francis, the Medleys, the Evanses, Spilsbury, Steadman and the Three Ks (Knollys, Kiffin and Keach) and discovering that source-searching is hard, time-consuming work. The first volume is now out and features articles on Spilsbury, Knollys, Kiffin, Bunyan, Keach, the Stennetts, Gill, Beddome, Ryland Sen., Hall Sen., Caleb Evans and Samuel Medley.
Happily the ‘Hyper-bashing’ formerly associated with this team of authors has almost disappeared, John Gill is seen …
Portraits of Faithful Saints

… Perkins or whoever, is mentioned by Hanko as a ‘Faithful Saint’. In Henry VIII’s reign, William Tyndale (c.1490-1536) is given due prominence and rightly so. Yet Tyndale was not the first man to complete a translation of the Bible as Hanko states. He was martyred after only completing the New Testament and parts of the Old which he had translated with the help of Coverdale, and, some say, Luther. To Miles Coverdale (1488-1569) belongs this honour, yet Hanko ignores him.
