Where/What to Begin in Reading Fuller...
Begin with his circular letters:1) Causes of Declension in Religion, and Means of Revival (1785)
2) Why Christians in the present Day possess less Joy than the Primitive Disciples (1795)
3) The Practical Uses of Christian Baptism (1802)
4) The Promise of the Spirit the grand Encouragement in promoting the Gospel (1810)
Then read the biography of his dear friend Samuel Pearce (1766-1799) in which you see Fuller the theologian of love:5) Memoirs of Rev. Samuel Pearce (1800) | Description
Then read his ordination sermons:6) The Qualifications and Encouragements of a Faithful Minister, illustrated by the Character and success of Barnabas
7) Spiritual Knowledge and Holy Love necessary for the Gospel Ministry
8) On an Intimate and Practical Acquaintance with the Word of God
Finally, what is possibly the best of his apologetic works, his rebuttal of Sandemanianism, where we see Fuller the Edwardsean theologian and even a theologian shaped to a degree by Romanticism:9) Strictures on Sandemanianism (1810)
