"Michael Haykin's Kiffen, Knollys, and Keach was the ground-breaking account of the early years of what became the English Particular Baptist movement. Still a central resource, and now in an expanded second edition, this classic text continues to provide the most expansive and detailed discussion of the emergence of the religious community that would do most to shape the liturgical and ecclesiological practices of global evangelicalism."
--Crawford Gribben, Professor of Early Modern British History, Queen's University Belfast, UK

"This reprint of what is now a classic treatment of seventeenth-century Baptists is a welcome publication. Michael Haykin deals with these topics not only as an approved and scholarly academician but as a Christian concerned about the discipleship of those who read the book. He deals with the most influential persons, the most important issues, and the most important confession of faith and shows how these have had abiding impact upon Baptists even to the present. This is a welcome reprint and I commend it to everyone who is interested in understanding an important and very influential segment of modern evangelicalism."

--Tom J. Nettles, Senior Professor of Historical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
