”In an age of relativism and unregulated piety, a return to the doctrines of grace espoused by this confession is urgently needed. The exposition of these truths given in this volume is masterful. May its publication and use aid in the reformation of the church in our time.“Derek W. H. Thomas(Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries; Retired Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church (ARP), Columbia, South Carolina)”In a most attractive, readable and scholarly way this rich volume presents historic Christianity as Baptists have absorbed it and been confessing it for the last 333 years in this grand statement of our best Confession of Faith. This book is a tremendous achievement.“Geoff Thomas(Conference Speaker and author, Aberystwyth, Wales)”This volume will add richness to the weekly study of a pastor and give an invaluable book for church groups for enriching their biblical knowledge and the contextual consistency and doctrinal coherence of the inspired Scriptures.“Tom Nettles(Senior Professor of Historical Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky)”Biblically rooted, theologically careful and engagingly written, this work is also consistently warm in its tone and practical in its application, authored as it is by pastors who are committed to the biblical truths that the Confession teaches. “Robert Strivens(Pastor, Bradford–on–Avon Baptist Church, Wiltshire, UK & former Principal, London Seminary)”Whereas there are many books dealing with one or two aspects of theology, it is good to have one book that gives those coming to Reformed Baptist convictions a comprehensive view of what we believe. “Conrad Mbewe(Pastor, Kabwata Baptist Church, Kabwata, Zambia; Founding Chancellor, African Christian University, Lusaka, Zambia)”… many of the chapters are superb in their biblical, theological, and experiential understanding and application of the great truths of Scripture.“Joel R. Beeke(Chancellor, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan)”You do not need to agree with every sentence in this 1689 Confession to benefit greatly from its exposition by men of theological orthodoxy and pastoral integrity. Read and sink your mind and heart into the rich truths as expressed in this new work. “Ian Hamilton(President, Westminster Seminary UK; author, 'The Faith-Shaped Life')”Here is a tool for every follower of Christ who desires to see Jesus, our altogether lovely One,more clearly, understand His redemptive labors more fully, and walk more nearly to Him in applied truth. “John Snyder(Pastor at Christ Church, New Albany, Director of Media Gratiae)”Many of the contributing expositors of the chapters in this new exposition of the 1689 are veteran pastors in the latter years of their longstanding pastorates. May the following generations be faithful stewards as they have been, in profession and practice, of the “sound words” they have set forth in this new work. Herein is a legacy of truth to be bought and not sold (Proverbs 23:23).“George McDearmon(Pastor Ballston Lake Baptist Church, Ballston Lake, NY)
