Biographical Essays on Notable Particular-Regular Baptists in America

Edited by Terry Wolever

Volume One

Volume One of this companion set to the British Particular Baptists is now available, and like that ground-breaking work, seeks for the first time to bring together in collective format the lives of both well-known figures such as John Clarke and Obadiah Holmes and lesser-known but significant persons such as John Cooke (who came over as a boy on the Mayflower) and Thomas Goold, who was three times imprisoned for his Baptist convictions, but went on to establish the first Baptist church in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.  Drawing on the expertise of a number of writers, many of these informative and interesting essays will represent the first biographies ever attempted on many of these men and women of faith.

Hanserd Knollys (1599?-1691)

Obadiah Holmes (c.1607-1682)
