This is a 1990 edition of Ketcham’s book which Regular Baptist Press is still offering. Ketcham was one of the fathers of the GARBC movement and an outspoken fundamentalist. This book emphasized three truths especially: The Lord Jesus Christ in the believer’s life; the Bible as God’s inspired Word equal to the very words of […]

Form and Freedom
This is a fresh study of the local church, meticulously proving from Scripture and history the congregational form of church government and the Biblical function of pastor and deacons. Brown is a veteran church planter in Germany and a Ph.D. student at Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis. The forward is written by Douglas McLachlan, former […]
Life and Writings of the Rev. John Gill ...
Biographies of good men are always a rich find in used bookstores. This is a reprint of the biography of John Gill (1697-1771), written by his successor, John Rippon. Both men pastored the London church that would become known by a later successor, Charles Spurgeon. Gill was one of those voluminous writers and the first […]
Tell It To The Church
When the Lord Jesus Christ announced, I will build my church (Matt. 16:18), it was established as an absolute monarchy with Himself as the sovereign Head. As long as this supreme Monarch was physically present with the disciples, their commission and instructions were held in abeyance, waiting for the enabling Power for operation. With the […]
The Reformers and Their Stepchildren
This 1964 Eerdman’s book is one with which I have been familiar for years but had never read cover to cover. Now, after having done so, I regret I took so long. No one who wears the name “Baptist” ought to miss this book, nor anyone who knows he cannot claim Rome or the Reformers […]
Elders Worthy of Double Honor
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine (1 Tim. 5:17). Baptists have never thought they were the only believers in the world or the only ones with Bibles. All believers have the obligation to apply the Scriptures to every part […]
John Bunyan: The Glorious Dreamer
I found this 1900s biography of the English Baptist in a used bookstore in Scotland. This is one of “The Splendid Lives Series” that the London Sunday School Union published at the turn of the last century. Bunyan was born in Elstow, England in 1629 to a poor “tinker’s” (metal worker’s) family. He was converted […]
The Down-Grade Controversy
This is a relatively small booklet which is a collection of the monthly articles Spurgeon wrote in The Sword and Trowel during this controversy including one related sermon. The Baptist Union was being infiltrated by German Rationalistic thinking especially in its denial of the authority of Scripture. Spurgeon was among the first to recognize the […]
The Biblical Faith of Baptists, Vols 4 &
These are the last two of five volumes which are the printed messages at the Fundamental Baptist Congresses. My original purpose for reading these five volumes was to compare them to “The Fundamentals” preached and written a generation before (in the early 1900s). I was curious to see the similarities and the progression of thinking […]
The Biblical Faith of Baptists, Vol 3
This congress was held in my home church, Landmark Baptist Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio, the year I graduated from high school, 1968. The speakers were Tom Malone, James T. Jeremiah, Ernest Pickering, Noel Smith, Ed Nelson, Bryce Augsburger and others. This is the third of five volumes that contain all the messages in printed form. The […]
