Joseph Charles Philpot
1802-1869
Born in Kent and the son of a clergyman, he became a fellow of Worcester College Oxford. In 1828 he was appointed a curate at Stadhampton. He seceded from the Church of England in 1835 and cast in his lot with those who later became known as the Gospel Standard Baptists, becoming sole editor of their magazine in 1849.
One reviewer says, 'In Philpot we have an example of natural learning sanctified and put to good advantage by the influence of grace and teaching of the Holy Spirit. And the immense good which resulted from the culmination of these two blessings, both natural and spiritual, we may observe in his sermons and writings which have been handed down to us.'
His only biography was of his close friend William Tiptaft a minister from Abingdon. Some of his well-known sermons are 'Winter Afore Harvest', 'What is it that Saves a Soul?', and 'The Heir of Heaven'.
