Book excerpt: Peter Toon published articles dealing with various facets of Calvinistic theology in the Age of Reason. These articles were by-products of research he was conducting at London University into the origins of a logical, arid form of Calvinism (hyper-Calvinism) found among Congregationalists and Baptists in the first half of the 18th century. Though his study has particular relevance to Strict Baptists, who have become the custodians of hyper-Calvinism, it is also a contribution to our knowledge of the 18thcentury Nonconformity as well as the history of the development of Reformed doctrine. --from publisher description
