EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Benjamin Keach (1640-1704) - A Devoted Baptist Churchman of the Seventeenth Century" This evocative portrait captures the stern yet thoughtful visage of Benjamin Keach (1640-1704), a prominent Baptist churchman and hymnwriter of the seventeenth century. Born in England during a time of religious turmoil and persecution, Keach dedicated his life to the Baptist faith and became a leading figure in its history. Keach's commitment to the Baptist cause began in earnest during the English Civil War, when he joined the New Model Army as a soldier. However, his religious convictions led him to reject the Anglican faith of the army and instead align himself with the Baptist community. After the war, Keach became a minister and spent the remainder of his life preaching, writing, and advocating for religious freedom. This portrait, likely taken towards the end of Keach's life, reveals a man of deep conviction and unwavering faith. His stern expression and piercing gaze suggest a man who was not afraid to challenge the religious and political establishment of his time. Keach's commitment to the Baptist faith was unwavering, even in the face of persecution and adversity. Keach's legacy extends beyond his role as a Baptist minister and advocate. He is also remembered as a prolific hymnwriter, penning over 1,200 hymns during his lifetime. Many of these hymns continue to be sung in Baptist and other Protestant churches today, making Keach's influence on Christian worship enduring. This portrait is a testament to the resilience and determination of Benjamin Keach and the Baptist community during a time of religious upheaval. It serves as a reminder of the importance of religious freedom and the power of faith to inspire and sustain individuals through even the most challenging of times.
