Baptism According to Scripture

Baptism According to Scripture

by E. H. (Edward Hatch) Hoare

About the author

Edward Hatch Hoare was an Anglican clergyman and theological writer active in the 19th century. Contemporary book records identify him as the author of works including Baptism According to Scripture and The Scripture Ground of Justification, both of which show his strong interest in explaining Christian doctrine through close reading of the Bible.

Published editions of Baptism According to Scripture describe him as "Vicar of Barkby, Leicestershire," and other historical references connect him with Barkby for many years. His writing is direct and pastoral rather than academic for its own sake, aiming to guide readers through important questions of faith with careful scriptural argument.

Although detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, Hoare's surviving books suggest a minister deeply engaged with the doctrinal discussions of his time. For modern listeners, his work offers a window into Victorian evangelical thought and the way clergy wrote for thoughtful ordinary readers as well as for fellow churchmen.
