Particular Baptists

Abstract

Abstract During the first few decades of the long eighteenth century, the English Particular Baptist community found itself in the grip of a seemingly inexorable decline, the reasons for which included doctrinal, social, and cultural issues. While there were significant sectors of spiritual vitality, especially in the West Country as a result of the impact of Bristol Baptist Academy, widespread revival did not come until the final three decades of the century. Links with the earlier Evangelical Revival that had been largely concentrated within Anglicanism, a movement of prayer for spiritual awakening that began in 1784, the influence of the writings of the American divine Jonathan Edwards, and the theology of Andrew Fuller led to significant renewal that gave birth to the modern missionary movement.
