'The Tribe of Dan' : the New Connexion of General Baptists, 1770-1891 : a study in the transition from revival movement to established denomination
A study in the transition from revival movement to established denomination. In the Introduction the literature relating to the New Connexion is examined and it is shown that there is scope for a study of the history of the Connexion as a transition from revival movement to established denomination. A brief biography is also given of Dan Taylor, the leader of the movement, who shaped much of its early life. This is followed by an examination of the theological background to the emergence and development of the Connexion in Chapter two ~Essential Truths~. The ~Six Articles~ which became a theological reference point for the movement are examined, together with the significance of modifications during the course of the movements life. The theological convergence between General and Particular Baptists is noted. The Connexion's teaching on salvation, the Bible, conversion, faith and the nature of the church are explored. This is followed by the response of the Connexion to theological concerns of the latter part of the nineteenth century: the future life and punishment, biblical criticism, science and secularism. It is argued that the distinctive element of protest was diminished by the development of a theological
