The writings of J.C. Philpot have been a source of blessing to many people over many years. His sound expositions of Holy Scripture, his simple explanations of the truths therein, and his practical applications of the same to people's lives has made his written works a treasure trove of spiritual wealth for every seeking sinner, and every battling believer, in every generation. Joseph Charles Philpot M.A. is the best remembered of all the Strict Baptist preachers of Victorian times. He was born in Kent in 1802 to Charles Philpot, a Church of England rector, and his wife Maria. Having been educated at home by his father, he received a scholarship to Worchester College in Oxford where he graduated with a First in Classics in 1824. Remaining at Oxford for a further year, he secured a fellowship at the College, afterwards moving to Ireland where he earned a living as a tutor to the two sons of a wealthy lawyer. During that time, he fell in love with the eldest daughter of the family, but was refused permission to marry her. However, his heartbreak was soothed by the joy that he found after he had been brought to saving faith in Jesus Christ. On his return to England, he became the curate of the parishes of Stadhampton and Chiselhampton in Oxfordshire. There he immersed himself in Christian ministry for seven years, and large crowds attended his services eager to hear him preach. At this time, he became acquainted with William Tiptaft, the vicar of a neighbouring parish, and as they studied the Bible together, they began to understand the blessed Doctrines of Grace. Disillusioned with the unbiblical teachings and practices of the Church of England, Tiptaft became a Baptist and founded a church in Abingdon. Though unwilling to leave his own congregation, Philpot resigned in 1835 convinced that Baptist principles agreed with Scripture. Six months later in a Baptist Chapel at Allington, he was baptised by John Warburton, a Strict Baptist pastor from Trowbridge. J.C. Philpot
