Career. Contribution to Baptist Studies. In 2010 Wilder in partnership with BorderStone Press, LLC released a volume entitled "The Lost Sermons of Scottish Baptist Peter Grant", which Wilder transcribed and edited from  Grant's original manuscripts. This represents the first time that the sermons of Peter Grant, an 18th/19th Century Baptist pastor at Grantown Baptist Church, Grantown-on-Spey, Scotland, have been published. Grant formed what became the largest Baptist congregation in the Gaelic-speaking Highlands, and was at the forefront of evangelism in the area. Professor Michael D. McMullen stated that "We have relatively few extant records from the early life of Baptists in Scotland, and Wilder’s carefully presented collection of Grant’s writings makes a very valuable contribution to the little that is available. In this challenging volume, we  have the powerful words of Peter Grant himself, some of which he preached to his people in the very midst of revival." From the foreword by Scottish professor Donald Meek "Peter Grant, the poet, is thus well known, but Peter Grant, the preacher, is a relatively obscure figure, although his skills as an expositor have been remembered in Gaelic tradition, and his ability as a descriptive writer in English can be gauged from his reports to the Baptist Home Missionary Society. So far, however, we have not been privileged to sample the preaching style that proclaimed the Word of God , in both Gaelic and English, in the pulpit of Grantownon-Spey, and drew audiences from miles around. In this book, we are given a splendid opportunity to experience something of Peter Grant, the preacher, by means of his surviving sermons in English."
