Early, Joe, Jr. The Life and Writings of Thomas Helwys. Macon, GA: Mercer University Press, 2009.
This book is part of a projected series entitled Early English Baptist Texts. It has a brief biography of the life of Thomas Helwys (pp. 3-50), and it includes a reprint of his known writings. After sending a copy of his writing on religious liberty to King James, Helwys was put in Newgate prison by the king, and Helwys died there.
Joe Early noted: "Helwy's soteriology was now a mix of Calvinism and Arminianism. In matters of original sin and the will, he became more Calvinistic than Arminian" (p. 35).
Joe Early wrote: "The soteriology of the Baptist church at Spitalfields was an amalgamarion of Calvinism and Arminianism" (p. 47).
Concerning the views of Helwys, Joe Early noted: "Only the original Greek and Hebrew texts were considered to be inspired" (p. 21).
Thomas Helwys wrote: "We refuse to use the translations, holding them much inferior to the originals" (pp. 21, 53).
