Abstract
ABSTRACTI survey two examples of Gill’s use of the tradition in his published texts – his remarks on the value of the rule of faith and his reliance on the grammar provided by the patristic period in his discussions on the Trinity. I argue that such samples reveal that at significant points Gill’s works exhibit a spirit of catholicity; that is, they reveal an attempt to employ the resources of the broader Christian tradition in his overall theological project. I present these findings with the conviction that, though Gill remains an imperfect representative of a Baptist catholicity, his often neglected writings provide historical precedent for contemporary discussions that seek to engage Baptists with the broader church tradition.
