About the author

Born in Kent in 1802, Joseph Charles Philpot studied at Worcester College, Oxford, where he became a fellow. Early in his career he served within the Church of England, but his convictions changed sharply, and in 1835 he resigned his position.

Philpot later joined the Strict and Particular Baptists and became a prominent preacher and editor. He is especially associated with the Gospel Standard, and his ministry helped shape that circle's religious life in the nineteenth century.

He died in 1869, but his reputation lasted through his published sermons, letters, and devotional works. Readers who return to him today usually do so for the earnest, inward tone of his writing and his strong concern with lived Christian experience.
