It would be impossible to name the countless individuals who have supported my doctoral studies since the fall of 2007. I must first thank Timothy Whelan of Georgia Southern University, whose recent work on Robert Hall first sparked my interest in this fascinating subject. Throughout my work on Hall, Whelan and I exchanged numerous emails where he provided me with sharp insights, important sources to consider, and the occasional noteworthy anecdote or story from his own research related to Hall.
Austin Walker, pastor of the Maidenbower Baptist Church in Crawley, England, and author of The Excellent Benjamin Keach, shares an interest in Hall that served as the starting point for a wonderful, albeit long-distance, friendship. His knowledge of Hall and his time provided me with a wonderful sounding board for my own ideas and . suspicions. Michael A.G. Haykin, my dissertation supervisor, has supported and yet challenged me from the start of this project.
