Historical Sketch of the Gospel Standard Baptists by S. F. Paul, Farncombe & Sons, Ltd., 65 South End, Croydon, Surrey. Price, by post, 2/10d.
Mr. Paul has given us a very interesting sketch of the Particular Baptists commonly called Strict Baptists. One comes across famous names in the sketch—Gifford, Bunyan, Keach, etc., not to mention later leaders. Gifford and Bunyan though classed with the Particular Baptists were not close-communists. One comes across interesting sidelights on the religious life and ecclesiastical customs of other days. All who take pleasure in reading of what men and women were willing to endure for what they believed to be the truth of God will find this a most interesting booklet though they may not accept the Baptist views.
