Andrew Fuller

Michael Haykin of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, remembers the life of Andrew Fuller

Why should we remember Andrew Fuller (1754 –1815) two centuries after his death in Kettering in the English Midlands?

Near the beginning of the funeral sermon that the Calvinistic Baptist John Ryland Jr. preached for Andrew Fuller in 1815, Ryland described Fuller as ‘perhaps the most judicious and able theological writer that ever belonged to our denomination’. Although Fuller was one of Ryland’s closest friends, his judgment is by no means a biased one.
