Excerpt from The Romish Controversy; Being a Series of Essays and Letters on Some of the Leading Doctrines of the Church of Rome: To Which Is Added, a Sermon on the Encouragements to the Propagation of the Gospel, Preached at Surrey Chapel, London Here it is supposed as an undoubted fact that there is a tremendous weight of authority in favor Of this doctrine, whatever weight of evidence may be against it. Now, whatever weight Roman Catholics themselves may choose to attach to this supposed authority, it is not admitted by any well-instructed Protestant as of any weight at all. What is this tremendous authority As respects the grammatical import of the words, This is my body, to any unprejudiced mind, in the smallest degree above idiocy, there cannot be even a difficulty. Viewed through the prejudice of ages, it found a difficulty even to the masculine mind of Luther. Give up prejudice, Mr. And the tremendous weight of authority becomes light as air. With respect to the authority of the Church, and the Opinion of the individuals mentioned by the writer, this surely is not undoubted. In the estimation of every consistent Protestant, it weighs nothing at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This title offers a comprehensive analysis of Baptist theology. Embracing in one common trajectory the major Baptist confessions of faith, the major Baptist theologians, and the principal Baptist theological movements and controversies, this book spans four centuries of Baptist doctrinal history. Acknowledging first the pre-1609 roots (patristic, medieval, and Reformational) of Baptist theology, it examines the Arminian versus Calvinist issues that were first expressed by the General Baptists and the Particular Baptists; that dominated English and American Baptist theology during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries from Helwys and Smyth and from Bunyan and Kiffin to Gill, Fuller, Backus, and Boyce; and, that were quickened by the 'awakenings' and the missionary movement. Concurrently there were the Baptist defense of the Baptist distinctives vis-a-vis the pedobaptist world and the unfolding of a strong Baptist confessional tradition. Then during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the liberal versus evangelical issues became dominant with Hovey, Strong, Rauschenbusch, and Henry in the North and Mullins, Conner, Hobbs, and Criswell in the South even as a distinctive Baptist Landmarkism developed, the discipline of biblical theology was practiced and a structured ecumenism was pursued. Missiology both impacted Baptist theology and took it to all the continents, where it became increasingly indigenous. Conscious that Baptists belong to the free churches and to the believers' churches, a new generation of Baptist theologians at the advent of the twenty-first century appears somewhat more Calvinist than Arminian and decidedly more evangelical than liberal.
