Holy Spirit Now Descend, Thomas Davis and the Evangelical Revival in Georgian Berkshire

Holy Spirit Now Descend, Thomas Davis and the Evangelical Revival in Georgian Berkshire BAPTIST QUARTERLY BOOK REVIEW Holy Spirit Now Descend, Thomas Davis and the Evangelical Revival in Georgian Berkshire, by Michael Haykin, Brighton, UK, Ettrick Press, 2022, 190 pp., £5.95 (paperback), ISBN: 978-1-915777-02-7 In this study Michael Haykin brings to bear all his research skills on what might seem at first sight a mere page in provincial history. Not so, for this valuable study brings to life the hitherto unknown achievements of the ministry of Thomas Davis, minister in Reading at the end of the eighteenth century for almost thirty years. Here we are pro- vided with a story of church growth and church planting, set within the distinctive spiri- tuality of Calvinist dissent, following the impact of the Evangelical Revival. It also offers a valuable insight into showing how a working pastor could be labelled a Fullerite, and still be in some way within the circle of John Gill, warning us not to create too many exclu- sive categories.
