(Philpot's writings are generally available in book form from Gospel Mission Press, P. O. Box 318, Choteau, MT 59422.) I have most every thing he ever wrote in my own library. You should order from them if you want printed and bound copies of any of his works. These brief biographical notes are adapted and condensed from publishers notes, and other sources). I DO NOT agree with him on every jot and tittle of his theology, but his works are well worth the attention of Baptists today, and deserve space in any good religious library. Brother Philpot wrote the best treatment of that subject I have ever seen in his book "The Eternal Sonship Of Christ". Every Christian should get that book and read it!

Brief Biographical Information About Pastor J. C. Philpot ---

Joseph Charles Philpot, M.A., was born 13th September 1802 at Ripple Rectory in Kent. He was educated at Worcester College, Oxford, and was then elected a Fellow. He went to Ireland as a tutor in a private family. He was saved by grace and returned to the ministry in the Church of England.

He seceded from that body in 1835, and the same year cast in his lot with the Strict and Particular Baptists, being baptized by John Warburton on his 33rd birthday.

He became the pastor of the Stamford and Oakham congregations in 1838 and ministered faithfully until poor health obliged him to move to Croydon in 1864.

He went to his reward on 9th December, 1869. During his long ministry he was editor of the "Gospel Standard" (which also still publishes his works). The "Gospel Standard" grew to considerable influence and prominence under his leadership, and much of what we have from him today was first published in that publication. He was a beloved and respected leader among the Strict and Particular Baptists of his day, and his memory is still cherished.
