The Letter from Prison
Organizational Identity and Decolonizing Care
Sir Christopher Codrington’s bequest of two plantations in 1710 constituted The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts ( SPG ; founded 1701) as a corporate owner of enslaved people; this expropriated labour partially resourced their global missionary endeavours during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Pastoral Care Through Letters in the British Atlantic

Bunyan and the Word
This chapter examines the changing nature of John Bunyan’s relationship with the Word of God as expressed in the Bible and the way it shaped his life and writing in a range of genres. Bunyan’s own experience of conversion, engendered as it was by his violent encounters with the Word of God both personally and communally, is considered first. This experience shaped Bunyan’s future readings of Scripture as an author and pastor. His biblical hermene…
A kind of agonie in my thoughts”
The relationship between pain as a physical and emotional experience and the concept of suffering as an essential aspect of sanctification for faithful believers was a paradoxical and pressing theological and phenomenological issue for puritan and non-conformist communities in 17th-century England. Pain allows the paradox of non-conformists' valorisation and suppression of corporeality to be explored due to its simultaneous impact on the mind and…
Interpreting the event
This article examines a set of texts that circulated around a debate between Richard Baxter (1615-91) and John Tombes (1602-76) about the lawfulness of infant baptism and church membership.
