The Particular Baptist Church that met in Petty France was at the heart of Baptist life in London and the country from the 1650s onwards. Its pastors were trained, educated theologians whose literature remains in use to this day. However, perhaps its most enduring legacy will be its record book, beginning in 1675 and concluding in 1727, a book that opens a window into the life of the church and the lives of its members. In this volume Dr Renihan offers a complete transcription of the Petty France Church Book, transporting a book from the heart of London and its archives, with all its vivid stories, into the hands of everyone who wishes to read it. In addition to the church book itself, Dr Renihan offers many chapters, full of new sources, that expand our view of this church and enliven our understanding of its church book.
