Explore the faith and history of English Baptists in the 1600s. This collection gathers Confessions of Faith, catechisms, and public documents that shed light on Baptist beliefs and their political ties during the Commonwealth era. It presents the voices of General and Particular Baptists and puts their writings in historical context.

Two introductory notes frame the collection: these writings emerged as apologetic declarations, not imposed creeds, and they reflect the diverse, often heated debates within the Baptist movement. The volume also traces how misunderstandings and polemics from supporters and critics shaped the reception of these confessions.

What you will experience
- A curated sequence of confessions from 1611 to 1688, showing the range of Baptist theology and church practice.
- Explanatory passages that situate the documents in 17th‑century England and Holland, including discussions of religious liberty and conscience.
- An overview of how Baptists viewed church governance, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, and the role of the civil magistrate.
- Contextual notes about how contemporaries framed and contested Baptist beliefs.

Ideal for readers of religious history, early modern Britain, and the development of Baptist identity across England and its neighboring regions.
