Modern Exposition Of 1689 Baptist Confession Of Faith By Samuel Waldron / Evangelical Press In this extensive exposition, the author, Sam Waldron, shows that the '1689' Confession is a masterly statement of the historic Christian faith. He writes in a direct and lucid style that will help ministers, students and laymen alike to a clear understanding of this Confession and to its relevance and application to our modern age. This exposition was originally published in 1989 to mark the 300th anniversary of the publication of the Second London Confession, which also became known as the '1689 Baptist Confession of Faith'. Today, reformed Baptists world-wide hold this Confession in high esteem and many churches continue to regard it as their official statement of faith. After being one of the pastors of the Reformed Baptist Church of Grand Rapids for almost 24 years, Sam Waldron is now attending Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky where in May of 2005 he will complete a Ph. D. in Systematic Theology. With his wife, he is a member of Heritage Baptist Church, a Reformed Baptist Church in Owensboro, Kentucky where in January 2005 he became one of the pastors.

Early Christian Doctrine By J.N.D. Kelly / Harpersanfrancisco Early Christian Doctrine is a clear, precise and up-to-date account of the early history of Christian doctrine. It is invaluable for an understanding of the formative period when the main lines of Christian dogma were laid down; and it presents a balanced picture of the early controversies in the light of modern scholarship. The doctrines of the Trinity, the authority of the Bible and tradition, the nature of Christ, salvation, original sin and grace, and the sacraments are all extensively treated in these pages.

 

Westminster Confession of Faith By Banner Of Truth The Westminster Confession of Faith is the greatest of all the creeds of the Christian Church. Since its first publication in 1646 it has remained absolutely unsurpassed as an accurate and concise statement of Christian doctrine. Among all the shifting sands of theological opinion here is solid truth, for it has its foundation in the unchanging truth of Scripture--witness the copious references from the Bible which are printed on each page. Because of its faithfulness to Scripture the Confession has permanent worth and abiding relevance.

 

Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 By Wakeman Trust This is a facsimile edition of the first edition of the Second London Baptist Confession. We call it the "1689" but that was the year it was accepted as the official confession of the Particular Baptist Churches. It was penned and published in 1677. The original edition has an introduction to show the Baptists were not trying to distance themselves from the Reformation, or Protestantism, but sought to embrace the recovery of the gospel and the movement as their own. This edition also has an important appendix virtually unknown to Reformed Baptists today. The appendix argues for an impartial consideration of the Confession and for a Reformed and Baptistic understanding of the Covenant. The text was copied, scanned, cleaned and opaqued in order to present this original document to the world. Read the Confession with the original spelling, misspellings, content, and punctuation, before any subtle changes were made.

Puritan Profiles: 54 Puritans, Personalities Drawn Together by the Westminister Assembly By William Barker / Christian Focus Public For those who admire the confessional statements (of the Westminster Assembly) but know little of thier origins, this is a wonderful introductory volume. The diversity of the assembly participants with their immense commonalities is amazing. Also of interest are the enormous energy involved in the debates, the particiants' struggles to understand the Bible, and their freedom to vent disagreement at high decibels while maintaining a spirit of unity. The book is well organized and presented in an effective format.
