Andrew Filler, an English Baptist theologian, born at Wicken, Cambridgeshire, Feb. 6, 1754, died at Kettering, Northamptonshire, May 7, 1815. He was settled first at Soham in 1775, and afterward at Kettering in 1782. In 1784 he published a treatise entitled "The Gospel Worthy of all Acceptation," which excited much controversy. In 1799 he composed his "Dialogues and Letters" (published collectively in 180G). In 1792 he took an active part with Carey and others in establishing the Baptist missionary society, and was appointed its first secretary; and till the close of his life he was constantly engaged in promoting its missions. In 1794 he published "The Calvin-istic and Socinian Systems, examined and compared as to their Moral Tendency;" in reply to which. Dr. Joshua Toulmin wrote "The Practical Efficacy of the Unitarian Doctrine considered," and Fuller rejoined in "Socinian-ism Indefensible, on the ground of its Moral Tendency" (1797). He was the author of a great number of other treatises, sermons, etc. His" Complete Works have been published in 8 vols. 8vo (London, 1824), in 1 vol. imperial 8vo, with a memoir by his son (1852), and in many other editions.
The degree of D. D. was conferred on Mr. Fuller by Yale college, and also by the college of New Jersey, but he declined receiving it as unscriptural and incompatible with Christian simplicity.
