Bernard Foskett was one of the principal proponents of orthodox Calvinist doctrine among the Baptist churches in the southwest of England in the first half of the eighteenth century. Through the demanding ministerial training that he established at Bristol Baptist Academy, his influence spread across the Baptist churches of England, Wales, and Ireland. This work, coupled with his influence in the Western Association of Baptist churches, ensured that Baptist congregations throughout these regions were well grounded in the tenets of the 1689 Baptist confession of faith and fortified against the extremes of antinomian theology on the one hand, and Arminianism on the other. Through his regular preaching ministry at Broadmead, Foskett sought to bring these convictions home to the hearts and lives of the believers for whose pastoral care he was responsible. --Robert Strivens
