The London merchant William Kiffen (c. 1616-1701) is commonly regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Particular Baptists in London. For over sixty years Kiffen played a significant role in the complex world of the seventeenth century, with its volatile mix of religion, politics and commerce. He established himself in the early 1640s as the leader of a Baptist congregation, became an important contact for the Cromwellian Commonwealth and Protectorate, and was intimately involved in the political manoeuvrings of the royal courts of Charles I, Charles II, James II and William III. In this volume Dr Kreitzer continues the investigation of Kiffen’s life which he began in Volume 1, offering eleven further ground-breaking studies based on primary sources which were all previously either under-appreciated or unknown.

Baptist history and theology is undergoing a modern recovery and rediscovery. Such a renaissance is incomplete without an examination of the covenant theology that played such a prominent role in Particular Baptist identity, thought, and literature. This work describes the covenant theology of the Particular Baptists associated with the 1644 and 1677 Confessions of Faith through analyses of their own writings and in comparison to the Reformed theology of their day. The study offers groundbreaking, fresh insights into the interactions between Particular Baptist churches during the second half of the seventeenth century as well as providing new details of some of their most important leaders, including Nehemiah Coxe and Benjamin Keach.

The studies in this book set out a bold thesis: that there is a distinct movement of thought within the period of the Protestant Reformation in Europe that may be called ‘Covenant Ecclesiology’. The proposal was made during 2017, a year that was named as ‘Reformation 500’, marking half a millennium since Martin Luther issued his 95 theses. The year hosted many reflections on the Reformation from three of its ‘children’ – Lutheran, Reformed and Anglican. This collection of studies, originally papers given at a conference at Regent’s Park College, University of Oxford, identifies a fourth child of the Reformation, whom other siblings have sometimes regarded as a ‘wild child’. It is, however, less a single church than a diverse movement, born in the Reformation and its immediate aftermath in the form first of Continental Anabaptists, and then of English Separatists from the new Church of England. By the early years of the seventeenth century many Separatists had morphed in England into General Baptists and Independents, later Congregationalists, and on the Continent Anabaptists had developed into a variety of groups, of whom Mennonites are best known today. It was characteristic of members of all these groups to pledge to ‘walk together’ under God in a covenant that was marked by two dimensions – a vertical vector of relation with God and a horizontal vector of relation with each other. While Anabaptists are sometimes named ‘the radical Reformation’, these studies propose that various radical offsprings of the Reformation are best characterized by what is common to them – an ecclesiology at whose centre is covenant, with Christ as the covenant-maker.
