“Oh That All Bigotry Was Rooted Out of the Earth!” The Evangelical Catholicity of Oliver Hart and the Regular Baptists / Eric C. Smith

By: Material type: ArticleArticlePublication details: Wake Forest, N.C. : Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Summer 2016Description: 87-108 pagesISSN:
  • 2156-9401
Subject(s): In: Southeastern theological reviewSummary: This article argues that Regular Baptist leader Oliver Hart (1723–95) embraced the “evangelical catholicity” of the Great Awakening. Following revival leaders like George Whitefield, Hart’s emphasis on evangelical piety (especially the new birth, gospel holiness, and the desire for sinners to be converted by the Holy Spirit) allowed him to partner with Christians across the denominational spectrum to advance revival. Hart’s friendships with evangelical Presbyterians, Methodists, and Anglicans are all explored, while his continued commitment to Baptist church order is also noted. Hart’s catholicity is significant for understanding the Regular Baptist movement, indicating that the Regular Baptists shared in the revival spirituality of the Great Awakening to a far greater degree than has traditionally been acknowledged.
