I recently came across three articles written by Dr. Michael Haykin and published in the Churchman nearly twenty years ago.  The articles are as follows:

• ‘The Oracles of God’: Andrew Fuller and the Scriptures (103/1 1989)

On February 19-20, 2010, Dr. Michael A.G. Haykin spoke at the True Church Conference hosted by Grace Life Church of Muscle Shoals, AL. Dr. Haykin presented two papers at the conference.  The first on Hyper-Calvinism, and the second on Andrew Fuller.  Both papers are now posted in PDF format below:
