Author: Gill, John
John Gill (1697 - 1771) was an English Baptist, a biblical scholar, and a staunch Calvinist. About age twelve, Gill heard a sermon from his pastor, William Wallis, on the text, "And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, where art thou?" (Genesis 3:9). The message stayed with Gill and eventually led to his conversion at the age of nineteen. His first pastoral work was as an intern assisting John Davis at Higham Ferrers in 1718 at age twenty one. He was subsequently called to pastor the Strict Baptist church at Goat Yard Chapel, Horsleydown, Southwark in 1719. In 1757, his congregation was in need of larger premises and moved to a Carter Lane, St. Olave’s Street, Southwark. His pastorate lasted fifty one years. This Baptist Church later became the Metropolitan Tabernacle and was pastored by Charles Spurgeon. In 1748, Gill was honorarily conferred degree of Doctor of Divinity from the University of Aberdeen.
