Description
Summary:Initially drawn to this subject because Culross wrote a nineteenth-century biography on John Ryland Jr. (1753–1825) who was the subject of my PhD, I encountered letters held at Bristol Baptist College noting the friendship between James Culross and C.H. Spurgeon and others during the Downgrade Controversy. This article seeks to convey the contents of their correspondence during this controversy and probe the essence of their subtly divergent views of Baptist confessionalism in an attempt to gain a more complete understanding of what was a complex controversy.
