    Study Notes

    Lecture 72: Particular Baptists and the Evangelical Revival in Great Britain, part 2

    • Particular Baptists were Calvinistic/Reformed Baptists who grew out of the English Reformation.
    • They were distinguished by their Calvinism, commitment to doctrines of grace, and a doctrine of particular redemption.
    • The 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith was a prominent publication by Particular Baptists in England which shaped Reformed Baptist theology today.
    • Particular Baptist churches emerged in the 17th century, largely from the Puritan movement.
    • By the mid-1640s, there were seven churches in London, and by the late 1650s, there were approximately 131 churches across England, Wales, and Ireland.
    • The period following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 saw increased persecution for Particular Baptists, but despite this, they continued to expand.
    • The Act of Toleration, enacted in 1689, ended years of persecution
    • The number of Particular Baptist churches decreased from around 220 to approximately 150 by the 1750s.

    II. Controversies over More or Less Minor Issues

    • After the Act of Toleration, theological and personal differences among Baptists became more prominent.
    • Disagreements over congregational singing (singing of “uninspired” hymns) and communion practices (open versus closed communion) caused significant divisions among Particular Baptist churches.

    III. The Negative Attitude at First of Many of the Particular Baptists toward the Evangelical Revival When It Began

    • The Particular Baptists exhibited a negative response towards the Evangelical Revival in the late 1730s, due in part to suspicions of the revival leaders being members of the Church of England.
    • The emphasis on biblical church order and the concern over the sudden conversions of those undergoing spiritual awakening, sometimes viewed as excessive emotion, were also deterrents.
    • Leaders, such as Benjamin Keach, were resistant to the emphasis on experiential faith.
    • Many of the revivalist leaders were members of the Church of England, which was a barrier for Baptists.

    Subsequent Notes

    • There was resistance to the revival due to fear of persecution
    • The prominence of Calvinistic ideas had influenced thinking, making the emotional expression of conversion seem unsettling.
    • The 18th century saw a shift in understanding "enthusiasm," from enthusiasm as a sign of fervent piety to a sign of religious imbalance.
