Description
Summary:This article examines the evangelicalism of Dan Taylor, a leading eighteenth-century General Baptist minister and founder of the New Connexion of General Baptists. In particular, it focuses on how Taylor functioned as a practical innovator, pioneering church planter, mobilizer of laity, novel proponent, and innovative trainer. The nature of Taylor's evangelicalism makes a contribution to the recent debates regarding the origins of evangelicalism. Its central characteristics, underlying tendencies and shaping influence of certain Enlightenment values reflect that which was distinct about evangelicalism as a primarily eighteenth-century phenomenon.
