Reformed Historical Theology, Volume 84 : The Jews in English Baptist Eschatology - Conversion, Restoration, and National Identity, 1649 - 1815
Outline : Ivan E. Mesa explores how English Particular Baptists held a unique view of the Jewish people within God's unfolding redemption. As Diessenters themselves, Baptists empathized with the Jewish plight and connected their philo-Semitism to a larger theological vision that anticipated the Jews' conversion and eventual return to the land of Israel. Through figures such as Henry Jessey, John Gill, Andrew Fuller, and Charles Spurgeon, the author demonstrates how these Baptists advocated for Jewish readmission to England, prayed for the Jews' conversion, and engaged in charitable work on the Jews' behalf. Mesa offers a fresh perspective on Christian-Jewish relations, moving beyond the established narratives of anti-Semitism and toward a more comprehensive understanding of philo-Semitic eschatology that proved consistent for many centuries among the English Baptists.
