Book description:
“Reprinted Reviews of the Gospel Standard” is a collection of reviews written by Joseph Charles Philpot for “The Gospel Standard”, a British Baptist magazine, between 1835 and 1860. Philpot was a regular contributor to the magazine, and his reviews covered a wide range of topics, including theology, church history, and spiritual biographies.
The reviews were reprinted in book form in 1862, two years after Philpot’s death, and provide a valuable insight into his theological views and literary style. The reviews demonstrate Philpot’s deep knowledge of the Bible and his commitment to the doctrines of grace, particularly the Reformed doctrines of election, justification, and sanctification.
Philpot was also an avid reader, and his reviews demonstrate his familiarity with the works of theologians and Christian authors from various denominational backgrounds, including Anglicans, Presbyterians, and Methodists. He was known for his ability to critique works from a Reformed perspective, while also appreciating the insights of other authors.
Overall, “Reprinted Reviews of the Gospel Standard” provides a valuable resource for those interested in the theological thought of J.C. Philpot, as well as for those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of 19th century British Baptist theology and literary culture.
