John Gill’s commentaries on the Bible helped solidify the shift in Reformed thinking in the eighteenth century. These expository commentaries are key for the study of the development of Baptist and Reformed theological exegesis, and a must for any student serious about studying the Reformed tradition.
Gill’s writings helped to define and encourage Reformed thinking in the eighteenth century. Considered to be the first major Baptist scholar, Gill continues to shape modern Calvinism. Although modern scholars debate about Gill’s role as the father of Baptist hyper-Calvinism, it cannot be denied that at the very least, he was a forerunner to that tradition. During his lifetime, Gill and his church backed the preaching and ministry of George Whitefield. His work represents not only essential eighteenth-century biblical scholarship, but a turning point in Reformed theology.
