British Particular Baptists , volume 4, the Stennetts
31st Oct 2018
Over the next several weeks we will be reviewing the content of our forthcoming book - British Particular Baptists, Volume 4. As Michael A. G. Haykin states in the Introduction, "This volume is a companion to the three volumes that have already appeared on the British Particular Baptists. . .There were various figures left out of those volumes simply for reasons of space." A few of the essays in this volume originally appeared in Volume 1. They have been included in this volume for chronological order. We anticipate releasing Volume 4 in mid-December.
So let's begin.....
An essay on the Stennetts is first. "Who, then, were the Stennetts? The Stennetts were a very remarkable Particular Baptist family. There were four generations of eminent ministers, their witness to the truth extending over a period of about a hundred and fifty years. They were all gracious, very learned, well known, influential in the country. They were all faithful to the doctrines of grace, commonly called Calvinism. A most remarkable witness, a most remarkable family!" ----B. A. Ramsbottom
The essay covers Edward Stennett (?-1691), Joseph Stennett (1663-1713), Dr. Joseph Stennett (1692-1758), and Samuel Stennett (1727-1795). The picture is of Joseph Stennett.
