Meticulous study

This is an important piece of work in a previously neglected area. Dr. Ian Shaw has focussed on the social involvement of four Hyper-Calvinists or, as he prefers to term them, High Calvinists, two from Manchester and two from London. The group includes one Anglican, William Nunn; two Strict Baptists, William Gadsby and James Wells; and one Independent, Joseph Irons. Their work is set against that of two Evangelical Calvinists, William McKerrow, a Presbyterian and Andrew Reed, a Congregationalist.
