Publisher’s Note It is our privilege to republish the sermons of eighteenth-century Particular Baptist minister, Benjamin Beddome (1717 – 1795). When completed, this new multi-volume set will contain a total of 225 sermons originally published during the years 1807 – 1835. The present edition, the first in the series, contains 67 sermons. It is a republication of Sermons Printed from the manuscripts of the late Rev. Benjamin Beddome, A.M. with a Brief Memoir of the Author (London: William Ball, 1835). Future volumes will include an additional 158 sermons originally published as eight separate volumes under the title: Twenty Short Discourses adapted to Village Worship or the Devotion of the Family. Beddome’s Sermons reflect a conviction that the Scriptures are the pure and infallible Word of God. Upon reading his sermons it becomes patently obvious that this conviction commanded all his focus and thinking during sermon preparation. His arrangements are simple, yet textually insightful. His outlines are not forced, but form a natural contour, following the theme of the text. His expositions are careful, clear and profound. Beddome’s Sermons also reflect that, after the Bible, the main influences upon his sermons were the Reformed and Puritan writers of the seventeenth-century. In 1752 Beddome published a Scriptural Exposition of what would later become known as The Baptist Catechism (1693). Like C. H. Spurgeon, Beddome’s Sermons reveal Beddome to be a theological heir of those English Protestant orthodox writers and Puritans who belonged to the Reformed confessional tradition. These sermons also reveal Benjamin Beddome to be an eminent Particular Baptist preacher, theologian, and exegete. Students of God’s Word would be served well by reading them. Ministers of God’s Word would be served by observing Beddome’s abilities in the areas of observation, assimilation of biblical data, and creativity. ix
