The eighteenth-century English minister Andrew Fuller lived a consequential life, debating noteworthy contemporaries such as Thomas Paine and contributing to the pioneering international work of William Carey. However, his soteriology remains his most significant theological contribution. Fuller explored the role that human agency plays in salvation's reception, and he offered substantive theological proposals that many religious historians now credit with advancing the Evangelical Revival. Fuller's work was both traditional and creative. He sought faithfulness to the broader Protestant tradition but developed that tradition in unique and contextually relevant ways. Despite Fuller's influence, much research into his life and work remains. Andrew Fuller and the Search for a Faith Worthy of All Acceptation examines heretofore underutilized primary sources related to Fuller's theological development. It attends to neglected texts produced by Fuller's opponents and mentors. Analysing these sources provides a fresh reading of Fuller's historical setting, one that contextualizes his theology and illuminates his constructive work on faith as a human response to the Gospel. This new interpretation allows scholars to discern more accurately the concepts that animated Fuller, the persons he sought to refute, and the sources on which he relied. This interpretation of Fuller challenges assumptions in contemporary scholarship and raises new questions for further research.

"This book will appeal to both theologians and historians. Fuller's constructive soteriological proposals, though offered in the eighteenth century, are relevant to contemporary pressing issues in dogmatics, and theologians will find them generative. Moreover, given Fuller's significance to the evangelical and Baptist traditions, historians of either movement will take an interest in this work. The new presentation of Fuller it advocates will provide nuance not only to Fuller studies but also to accounts of the Evangelical Revival's beginnings. Finally, the context in which Fuller operated featured several theological traditions that are now receiving fresh attention"--
