The Calamy family was a prominent family in English Nonconformity from the period of Stuart Puritanism down to the Victorian era. The most famous of the family is Edmund Calamy III (1671-1732), who was an English Presbyterian churchman and historian. Ordained at the London meeting-house of Samuel Annesley, the Presbyterian grandfather of John Wesley, Calamy served Christ faithfully in London during the first third of the eighteenth century. This booklet by the historian-pastor Alan Clifford is a celebration of Calamy's life and ministry on the 350th anniversary of his birth.

This very welcome account of Philip Doddridge has Alan Clifford's characteristic clarity and forcefulness-that is, commitment-coupled with, again characteristically, an unrivalled familiarity with the primary sources. Its summary of the context and course of Doddridge's life draws out clearly his character and significance. And all this is done with a liveliness and wit too rare in scholarly writing.
