Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Principles and Practices of Baptist Churches The present volume contains the paper which lately have appeared in The Examiner, over the signature of "Roger Williams." It was the intention of the author to limit the series to eight or ten numbers; subject after subject was, however, suggested to him for discussion, until it attained its present magnitude. It assumes a more permanent form, in compliance with what is supposed to be the wish of its former readers. The main object of the author has been to present a popular view of the distinctive belief of the Baptist denomination, and to urge upon his brethren a practice in harmony with their profession. That this humble effort to promote the spirituality and efficiency of a portion of the church of Christ may be accepted by the Master, is the earnest prayer of the author.

Download or read book Recycling the Past or Researching History written by Philip E. Thompson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recycling the Past or Researching History? brings together an international group of Baptist scholars who explore various issues in Baptist historiography and myths. Contributors examine and re-examine areas of Baptist life and thought about which either little is known or the received wisdom is in need of revision. Historiographical studies include the date Oxford Baptists joined the Abingdon Association, the death of the Fifth Monarchist John Pendarves, eighteenth-century Calvinistic Baptists and the political realm, confessional identity and denominational institutions, Baptist community, ecclesiology, the priesthood of all believers, soteriology, Baptist spirituality, Strict and Reformed Baptists, the role of women among British Baptists, while various myths challenged include the nature of high-Calvinism in eighteenth-century England, baptismal anti-sacramentalism, episcopacy, and Baptists and change. The common theme tying these studies together is that research into Baptist history should deal with the primary sources and not, as has too often been the case, rely uncritically on the scholarship of previous generations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When former United States presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton announced the establishment of a broadly inclusive "New Baptist Covenant" that will be launched in early 2008, excluded from the proceedings were leaders from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Recognizing the need for both conviction and cooperation, for confessional commitments and biblical unity, Union University president David Dockery rallies Southern Baptists anew "for such a time as this" in Southern Baptist Consensus and Renewal, a prophetic, clarion call to cooperation, unity, and renewal throughout the SBC. Many issues today threaten to sidetrack Southern Baptists from advancing the gospel, missions, and theological education together. Dockery urges them to focus on their confessional heritage and renew their commitment to truth, to doctrinal fidelity, and to the Christ-centered message of the gospel. - Publisher.
