Richard Baxter was a prominent English Nonconformist church leader and theologian known for his influential role within the Nonconformist movement. He gained recognition through his ministry in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, in the late 1630s. Baxter had a prolific career as a theological writer and became a well-known figure in the movement after declining an appointment as Bishop of Hereford following the Act of Uniformity 1662.
