A Rebel Saint, Baptist Wriothesley Noel, 1798–1873

A Rebel Saint, Baptist Wriothesley Noel, 1798–1873 BAPTIST QUARTERLY BOOK REVIEW A Rebel Saint, Baptist Wriothesley Noel, 1798–1873, by Philip D. Hill, Cambridge, UK, James Clarke, 2002, 252 pp., £25 (pb), ISBN 9780227177617 The story of clergy seceding from the Established Church has long attracted authors from J H Philpot’s The Seceders (1930), onwards. Undoubtedly the Church of England, and its Evangelical clergy in particular, were challenged in the 1830s and so whilst David Newsome [The Parting of Friends, 1966] has written about those from Evangelical homes attracted by Rome and Catholicism, Grayson Carter [Anglican Evangelicals: Protes- tant Secessions from the Via Media c1800–50, 2001] writes of those for whom Geneva was the city of influence. For others this represents part of the story of Brethren origins. Philip Hall writes not of a group but one outstanding individual, Baptist Wriothesley Noel, in this excellent biography which nicely evaluates Noel’s very considerable literary corpus alongside judicious assessment of his multi-faceted activities, bringing texts and action into close alliance. The author is diligent in tracking down primary sources which, together with Noel’s wide engagement with church and society, provide a unique insight into the workings of an Evangelical cleric’s mind in a period of great change and conflict, http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Baptist Quarterly Taylor & Francis
