Is Jesus Revealed in the Old Testament? A Study of the Old Testament High Priest

A History of the Baptist Churches in the City of Bath during the Eighteenth Century - focusing on the congregations at Somerset Street (now Manvers Street) and at Twerton, and the contribution of Bath Baptists to the social and religious history of the city (1714-1837)

As Christianity flourished during the fourth century, believers were faced with the challenges not only of their own internal conflicts and theological disagreements, but also with religious, philosophical, and ethical pressures from the broader culture in which they were embedded. One unsettled issue was the role of classical Greek and Roman literature in Christian education. St. Basil the Great (c.330-379 CE) explores this question in his Address to Young Men. By recommending circumspect study of classical texts, Basil encourages his readers to extract what is useful from the earlier authors while rejecting what is harmful or irrelevant. The present work examines the images and metaphors employed by Basil in his Address with a view to answering such questions as why Basil recommended non-Christian writings, how he viewed their relationship to his own community's Scriptures, and what underlying presuppositions may have informed Basil's treatment of various kinds of literature. This book is directed toward students and scholars of early Christianity, Classics, and to anyone contemplating the value of ancient literature in education, whether religious or secular.

The aim of the book is to reexamine Baptist theology and practice in the light of the contemporary biblical, theological, ecumenical and missiological context, drawing on historical and contemporary writings and issues. It is not a study in denominationalism but rather seeks to revision historical insights from the believers' church tradition for the sake of Baptists and other Christians in the context of the modernpostmodern context.

This work is the result of a course of lectures. It is written in a plain, clear, straightforward style, and is an earnest and honest exposition of the great principles of Baptists. The author was formerly a Pedobaptist, and in changing his church relation, he has been led to look more intelligently into the principles of the Baptists, than many who have not had the same reasons to study them. C. H. Spurgeon used this book in his Pastor's College and regarded it as the best manual of Baptist principles he had met.

"Making Church Matter" is the answer for churches that are stuck in tradition or crisis and want to change but don't know how. The author's conversational tone and step-by-step instructions are especially appropriate for churches who have inexperienced leadership or are without a Pastor. Additionally, "Making Church Matter" is a great training manual for church leaders-both ordained and lay. All members should be exposed to the teaching in this book. This book makes a great Bible Study. It is packed with Biblical references on such topics as Biblical authority, church discipline, pastoral care and other important topics. Finally "Making Church Matter" serves as a Biblical model against which you can measure the spiritual progress of your church.

A Collection of John Gill's rarest Sermons, Tracts, and Essays on Scriptural Authority, the Nature of the New Testament Church and Ordinance of Baptism.

Many books have been written to set forth the Biblical truths commonly believed by Baptists. Many of these teachings are shared by other believers, but some are distinctive in that only Baptists have been willing to support them solely on Biblical authority. Biblical Authority - Autonomy of the Local Church - Priesthood of All Believers - Two Ordinances - Individual Soul Liberty - Saved Church Membership - Two Officers - Separation of Church and State Drs. L. Duane Brown and his son, Daniel, have teamed up to expand the previous edition of Biblical Basis for Baptists that sold more than 65,000 copies. Both men are well qualified, based on their own individual ministries, to author this practical, doctrinal presentation. Chapters have been added for leadership to establish or evaluate their church missions program, especially on their indigenous policy. A special highlight is a message presented by Dr. Duane Brown on how Baptists brought religious freedom to America. Since this book is based on Scriptural principles, individuals and teaching organisms (Sunday school classes, youth and college groups, membership classes, home school parents, Christian schools, or schools of higher learning, etc.) will find it to be trustworthy.

"In THE WORKS OF JOHN SMYTH, you will discover examples of Smyth's Puritan preaching reflective of his training at Cambridge. You will also be intrigued by his discussion with other Separatists and Puritans on the nature of the true church and his understanding of true worship. In his WORKS, you will be exposed to the first book-length argument for believer's baptism to be published in English. You can also consider Smyth's interaction with Mennonite beliefs as well as one of the first statements in English on religious liberty. This reprinting of W. T. Whitley's THE WORKS OF JOHN SMYTH is the perfect way to acknowledge 400 years of English Baptist History." JASON K. LEE Associate Professor of Historical Theology Assistant Dean of Theological Studies Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Fort Worth, TX, USA
