Overview

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.

Michael Haykin's Kiffen, Knollys, and Keach was the ground-breaking account of the early years of what became the English Particular Baptist movement. Still a central resource, and now in an expanded second edition, this classic text continues to provide the most expansive and detailed discussion of the emergence of the religious community that would do most to shape the liturgical and ecclesiological practices of global evangelicalism. --Crawford Gribben, Professor of Early Modern British History, Queen's University Belfast, UK This reprint of what is now a classic treatment of seventeenth-century Baptists is a welcome publication. Michael Haykin deals with these topics not only as an approved and scholarly academician but as a Christian concerned about the discipleship of those who read the book. He deals with the most influential persons, the most important issues, and the most important confession of faith and shows how these have had abiding impact upon Baptists even to the present. This is a welcome reprint and I commend it to everyone who is interested in understanding an important and very influential segment of modern evangelicalism. --Tom J. Nettles, Senior Professor of Historical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
