The name of the eighteenth-century Baptist minister James Hinton (1761-1823) is not one that is well-known by any standard, even to those who specialize in the study of English Baptist history. Yet, along with his friends Andrew Fuller (1754-1815) and John Ryland, Jr. (1753-1825), Hinton was one of those Baptist leaders who, at the end of the eighteenth century, secured the revival of Baptist life in Britain. And like many of his theological persuasion-Hinton was a Dissenter of Calvinistic Baptist convictions-Hinton regarded the keeping of a diary as a spiritual discipline. Hinton’s diary is no longer extant, but large portions of it can be found embedded in a biographical study of Hinton by his son John Howard Hinton (1791-1873). This book contains these portions that have been skillfully re-assembled as a diary.
