Description

At the heart of this volume is The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith in Modern English, edited by Stan Reeves. This widely respected edition preserves the theological precision and structure of the historic Second London Baptist Confession while presenting it in clear and readable modern language. Included with the confession are the original opening epistle and the Appendix on Baptism, carefully preserved with only minimal modernization of spelling and punctuation.

This edition also includes two important seventeenth-century catechisms used by early Particular Baptists to teach doctrine in churches and families:

The Baptist Catechism (1695) and An Orthodox Catechism (1680)

This updated edition, building on the scholarship of Michael Haykin and Stephen Weaver, presents Collins’ catechism in clearer modern English while maintaining the integrity of the original work. It preserves the original preface, Scripture references, the questions on the laying on of hands, and the Appendix on the Ordinance of Singing.

This volume also concludes with three foundational creeds of the Christian church:

  • The Apostles’ Creed
  • The Nicene Creed
  • The Athanasian Creed

This premium edition was crafted for both beauty and durability, making it ideal for daily reading and long-term use.
