A new book about Hercules Collins — “Devoted to the Service of the Temple: Piety, Persecution, and Ministry in the Writings of Hercules Collins” — co-edited by Steve Weaver and Michael Haykin — is now available.

Here’s a brief description:

While largely forgotten in modern times, Hercules Collins (1646/7-1702) was highly influential among the late 17^th and early 18^th century Calvinistic Baptists of London. Through a biographical sketch and 35 sample selections collected from Collins’s writings, Michael A. G. Haykin and Steve Weaver introduce us to the vibrant spirituality of this colossal figure.

I don’t know much about Collins, but I do know about the book’s authors and am looking forward to finding out more about Collins. I’ve already ordered my copy of the book, and I hope you’ll do so as well. Buy it here.
