Reviews
Dan Taylor is the great hero of the English evangelical General Baptists. His commitment to freedom and to the proclamation of the gospel helped renew the movement and made a major contribution to the Baptist tradition as a whole. Richard Pollard's engaging, informative, and intriguing appraisal of Taylor's thoughts and activities shows him to have been a creative thinker and an innovative practitioner with a great deal to teach our own generation. --Stephen Finamore, Principal of the Bristol Baptist College, England Dan Taylor was a ground-breaking eighteenth-century Baptist leader and a shaping evangelical figure. Yet he has received surprisingly little scholarly attention. This splendid study by Richard Pollard does full justice to Taylor's strategic ministry and in particular to his theological contribution. Pollard's probing analysis should be read by everyone who wishes to gain new insights into crucial Baptist and evangelical developments in what was a time of complex religious upheaval. --Ian Randall, Senior Research Fellow, Spurgeon's College, London On the foundation of an expert grasp of historical detail and context, the author makes an intriguing enquiry into the kind of evangelicalism that Dan Taylor represented, influenced both by the Enlightenment and the Evangelical Revival. The author paints a convincing portrait of a Baptist leader who showed creativity and innovation in ecclesiology and mission. Of absorbing interest, both scholarly and highly accessible, this is essential reading in the Baptist way of being church. --Paul S. Fiddes, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Oxford Both the details and the broad sweep of Taylor's ministry are brought into focus as never before and this study makes a real contribution to our understanding of Baptist heritage, as well as illuminating wider trends. In my view, it is the best study of an English General Baptist figure ever written. --Peter J. Morden, from the foreword
