John Gill (1697–1771) was one of the most formidable Baptist theologians in the history of the English-speaking church. Pastor of the Particular Baptist congregation at Horsleydown, London, for over fifty years, Gill produced a body of work unmatched in its theological depth and scope within the Baptist tradition.
The growing retrieval of classically Reformed orthodox theology has placed Gill among the greatest theologians of any tradition—a rigorous defender of classical theism, Trinitarian orthodoxy, and confessional Baptist distinctives whose influence is only now receiving the scholarly attention it deserves.
More than a historian’s interest, Gill speaks directly to the church today. His careful integration of Reformed scholasticism and pastoral concern makes him an indispensable resource for pastors, students, and scholars committed to the recovery of classical Protestant theology.
