I was given this book years ago by my friend, Lon Stewart. I had read bits and pieces of it but not all at once. In light of some controversies among Baptists today, this congress was an amazing meeting. The speakers included Wendell Zimmerman, Howard Sugden, Paul Jackson, Monroe Parker, John R. Rice, Lee Roberson, […]

George Whitefield: Divine Dramatists
NOTE: In recent months I have reviewed a number of biographies. Some have been older editions and some newer. My objectives are these: to be uplifted by the faith of past saints, many of whom have struggled and suffered far more than we; to notice parallels in history of circumstances and issues that we face, […]

A.T. Robertson: a Biography
Archibald Thomas (“A.T.”) Robertson was born November 6, 1863 and died September 24, 1934. He was a Southern Baptist all of his life and arguably the greatest Greek Grammarian of the last and present centuries. This story of his life is told by a colleague in a personal and delightful way. Of historical interest is […]
The Anabaptist Story
Eerdmans has printed the third edition of this scholarly work by Estep, professor Emeritus of Church History at Southwestern Baptist Seminary in Ft. Worth.

It is a printing of the actual writings of well known Anabaptists on 17 areas of doctrine. This is not an Anabaptist history. There we find that these men were born Catholic, converted by Reformers […]
A Good Conscience
This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning the faith have made shipwreck. 1 Timothy 1:18-19 It is an interesting time to be a pastor […]
Why The Name ‘Baptist?’
Christians, if they are to be an alternative to postmodern relativism, need to confess their faith, in word and deed. This means knowing what the faith is. Christians in every church body might begin by returning to their own doctrinal heritage. . . In doing so, they might regain their vitality and testify to a […]
Rethinking Our Priorities
Once in a while we stumble onto an older book and ask ourselves, ‘‘How did I ever get by without reading that before?’’ Such is the case with this old but timely book. Written in 1974, Dr. Baxter evaluates American Fundamental and Evangelical churches from a Britisher’s point of view. He writes also from our […]
