Called “The Shakespeare of the Puritans” by Robert Southey, but striving to be no more than a “preacher of God’s Word” in his own words, Thomas Adams’ work is enduringly elegant and edifying. Adams came into adulthood in early modern England, just before the English Civil War, and throughout his life, he was personally acquainted with poverty. Appeals for the Gospel to manifest itself in tangible ways for the poor and oppressed mark his sermons throughout. Adams frequently uses satirical characters in his prose to call attention to those who slipped through the cracks amongst the grandiose politicking of his time. His pragmatic politics left him caught in the middle of two extremes—loyalists and radical puritans. Neither party supported him. Nevertheless, among the public he was a popular preacher and lecturer.

Shining among Baptist minister Joseph Angus’ achievements is his particular talent for writing. While his career included stints as Regent’s Park College president, Baptist Missionary Society secretary, New Testament Company member, and London University examiner, Angus repeatedly won writing contests for pieces such as Christ Our Life: In Its Origin, Law, and End—included in this collection. His work’s clarity and global style manifests his desire to engage not only the dusty library elite, but people of all cultures and stations. Angus’ handbooks are as valuable for students today as they were for students 150 years ago, guiding readers through the study of Scripture, English language and literature, Butler’s Analogy of Religion, and the life of Christ. These volumes provide valuable insight into Baptist history as well as nineteenth-century linguistics, literature, and theology.
