John Smyth’s Congregation: English Separatism, Mennonite Influence and the Elect Nation

Scottdale, Pa.: Herald Press, 1991, 240 pages.

My doctoral dissertation chronicles the story of an English Separatist congregation which fled to Amsterdam early in the 17th century seeking refuge from persecution in England. From this pivotal congregation sprang both America’s Pilgrim Fathers and the first English Baptists. Some of their number also joined the Mennonites. This congregation wrestled with great theological and ecclesiological questions which are still with us today.
