ABSTRACT The coverage of John Briggs’s The English Baptists of the Nineteenth Century (1994) allows us to examine many of the aspects of Baptist life as they had come to be understood nearly thirty years ago. Since then culture has come to the fore as a subject for historical study. At the summer conference of the Baptist Historical Society held at Woodbrooke, Birmingham, in July 2022 the theme was ‘Baptists in British Culture in the Nineteenth Century’. The papers delivered there point to fresh developments in Baptist studies and in particular the role of women, the place of slavery and the influence of the Enlightenment.

We continue to welcome visitors from across the world to the Angus Library, but a recent project has involved researchers from closer to home. Oxford University students participated in a ‘micro’ internship scheme which focused on doing research on some of the portraits in Regent’s Park College. The students used many resources in the Angus to create short accounts of the lives of these notable figures which will be made accessible alongside the portraits. Manuscript letters were scrutinised, college minutes pored over, memoirs studied, and contemporary newspapers together with periodicals of the era perused in the pursuit of rediscovering biographical details and placing the individuals within the context of their times. The project sparked thought-provoking discussion about the subjects of the portraits, and their legacy within Baptist history. While readers of the Baptist Quarterlymay be familiar with individuals such as Violet Hedger, Andrew Fuller, Amelia Angus and William Carey, other figures might not be so well-known. For instance, the man often identified as William Carey’s pundit in the famous portrait of the two together, takes his rightful place as Mrityunjaya Vidyalankar, revered Sanskrit and Bengali scholar. Another portrait was identified as that of Eliza, wife of Benjamin Davies (Principal of the College from 1844–1847). She was so loved by the College students that on her death in 1872, they formally requested that she be given a permanent memorial. This sort of research occurs daily in the Angus as it does in archives across the world. Nonetheless, it is an endlessly rewarding task to help unearth details of the past and to note especially the contributions of others. In this instance, it was a delight to introduce a new group of students to the unique joys of working in an archive with primary sources. In turn, they have provided introductions to the portraits that will be especially beneficial to new members of the college and to visitors who may not be acquainted with Baptist history.

ABSTRACT This article compares the stances on race and empire of four British who featured in the overseas missionary movement in this period. William Ward of the Serampore Mission brought some elements of his early political radicalism into his attack on Hinduism as a system of priestly oppression. The writer and BMS secretary Edward Bean Underhill blamed the Jamaican plantocracy for the plight of the former slaves after emancipation, and defended black Jamaicans against racist attacks on their character. In contrast, Herbert Sutton Smith, a BMS missionary on the Congo from 1899 to 1910, wrote a book about his years at Yakusu that is full of racial stereotypes. Finally, Joseph Booth, a Baptist from Derby who began his own self-supporting mission in Malawi in 1892, became an outspoken critic of British involvement in the region, while still retaining a theoretical hope that Queen Victoria would intervene on behalf of exploited Africans.

ABSTRACT Joseph Kinghorn is an underappreciated figure in the modern remembrance of Baptist history. Despite Kinghorn’s significant influence among English Baptists in his own time, he is rarely mentioned as a significant influence today. When he is remembered, it is often for his role in the controversy over strict communion. However, among those who knew the man, Kinghorn was best known for his remarkable amiability, character, and delight in the lord. In light of this, a reexamination of Kinghorn’s spirituality offers much to the modern reader. Of peculiar interest is how Kinghorn’s spirituality was formed in close relationship with his father. This study offers a short summary of Kinghorn’s spirituality within its historical context, with attention given to how it was formed in relationship with his father, and worked out in the life of the church.

ABSTRACT J. C. Carlile (1861-1941) was an English Baptist Minister, author and journalist. While at Spurgeon's Pastor's College he commenced his ministry in London dockland and actively participated in the 1889 London dockstrike. He was elected a member of the London School Board for the Borough of Southwark. Awarded a CBE for his wartime service during a 40 year ministry in Folkestone, in 1921 he was elected President of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. Later he briefly served as its General Secretary, and was for many years editor of the Baptist Times. In 1929 he was made a Companion of Honour. He made several visits to Canada and the USA, receiving honorary doctorates from two Canadian Universities. He was the author of several books, including The Story of the English Baptists (1905) and My Life's Little Day (1935).
