Very interesting exploration of early Baptist ecclesiology. By no means an easy read, the reading can be a bit tedious at times due to the large number of quotations that are incorporated. But the information given is invaluable and well worth the occasional slog to get through. The information found continue reading…
In ten short chapters, Haldane gives a concise scriptural argument for both the continuation of Sabbath command and the change of the specific day of the Sabbath from the seventh to the first/eighth. Writing just prior to the rise of the Dispensational views, Haldane’s arguments are nevertheless quite relevant to continue reading…
With this book, Waymeyer presents a premillennial response to many of the strongest arguments that have been put forward by ammillennialists over the past ~100 years. In particular, as the subtitle suggests, he attempts to respond to the two-age model that has taken a prominent place as the premier systematic continue reading…
A good though short history of Baptist origins in America. Waldron briefly gives the story of how the Particular (Reformed) Baptists first came to dominate religious life in America and then, for various reasons, lost or abandoned their beliefs, opening the door for Modernism/Liberalism, Dispensationalism, and other departures from the continue reading…
This book suffers severely from McClain’s rejection (or possibly ignorance) of the biblical case for the three-fold division of the law.

Ray refuses to give continue reading…

However, while the specific applications can be quite helpful, the exegesis continue reading…
Raises some good points. Byrd is not an egalitarian but she nevertheless wants to pull back from where much of complimentarianism is headed/has gone. Her writing style is very different from most theological books I have read which makes her harder to follow; I am not sure if this is continue reading…
A very short, slightly dated defense of the amillennial position. Grier is primarily writing to respond to the (at the time) newly popular Dispensational form of premillennialism though he certain has other forms in view as well. At only 128 pages, this is not an exhaustive book but it still continue reading…
