Encyclopedia of Religion entry for

Anti-Scripturalists

Richard Baxter (1615-1691), writing in 1650, refers to a sect of Puritans with this name. They were closely related to, or perhaps identical with, the Seekers (q.v.). With the latter they would seem to have attached more value to the Present illumination of the Spirit than to the past revelation of the Scripture. See John Hunt.
