Richard Baxter Conformed to Nonconformity

What is it about?

This essay examines the way the Puritan theologian Richard Baxter was understood by later Nonconformist tradition of the 18th and 19th centuries. This later reception shows a shift in focus away from Baxter's scholastic theology, but in favor of his practical theology. The reception of Baxter's work from the early modern to the modern period provides a window into the changing shape of theological perspective over the last 300 years within the English Nonconformist Protestant tradition.
