Biography
Robert Cotter is a Church of Ireland minister and independent scholar, who holds doctorates in German Literature and History from Oxford and Belfast universities.
“Cotter brings to life the person of John Cennick in a fresh and insightful way. The book is well structured, well conceived, and well written. Cennick is a significant, yet under-explored, character in both social and religious history.” - Jared Stephens in Journal of European Baptist Studies (JEBS)
“Cotter offers an excellent account of Cennick as a Moravian. His doctorate in German literature, theological expertise, and insightfulness into personal character all contribute significantly to the book’s success. …[The book] both revolutionises our understanding of a significant figure in the English Revival and makes an important contribution to Moravian history.” – Colin Podmore in Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society
