Thomas J. Nettles is a Baptist church historian and professor emeritus of historical theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. His three-volume By His Grace and For His Glory is the definitive study of Calvinism in Southern Baptist history, and he has written major biographies of James Petigru Boyce and B. H. Carroll.

Asahel Nettleton (1783–1844) was a Connecticut-born Calvinist evangelist and Yale graduate who became one of the most effective revivalists of the Second Great Awakening, with an estimated 30,000 conversions attributed to his ministry. He opposed Charles Finney's "new measures," defending a more traditional and doctrinally careful Reformed approach to evangelism.

John Newton (1725–1807) was a former slave-ship captain whose dramatic conversion led to ministry at Olney and London, authorship of 'Amazing Grace,' and a public testimony against the slave trade he had once practiced.
