"The recent reprint of The Baptist Catechism has given families and study classes a helpful tool for memorizing the great doctrines of the Christian faith. Now, a hidden jewel, Benjamin Beddome's 'A Scriptural Exposition of the Baptist Catechism, ' takes its place alongside the Catechism to give much needed assistance to the same families and classes. Beddome shows how the doctrines contained in the Catechism are founded upon Scripture, and explains them for all to understand. This is indeed a wonderful instrument to make skilled craftsmen from apprentices " - Dr. James M. Renihan

From this well-known historian comes the history of how we got the Word of God read by millions of people today. Plus this volume offers the Articles of Faith held by the Particular Baptists from John the first Baptist to the present.

It is evident, then, that the Baptists suffered merely because they maintained that they ought "to obey God rather than man." They found no direction in the Bible for the baptism of infants, and therefore they refused to observe the rite. The Reformed or Protestant churches sought to force them to do it, in opposition to their convictions. They maintained that this was also contrary to the spirit of the Gospel, and thus, in defence of the Bible, and the rights of conscience, they died.

Nearly 25 centuries ago, the angel Gabriel foretold the time Christ would transfer His ministry from the holy place to the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary in preparation for the time when divine intercession for man's salvation would be finished. Christ has revealed His plans about the reward of the righteous and the final disposition of evildoers inside the pages of the Bible. The Most High has assured us in His word that the root and branches of sin will be consumed into smoke and ashes - evil shall not rise the second time. The Sanctuary is mentioned in both the beginning and end of the Bible. Between these entries are some of the most fascinating and inspiriting themes that can occupy the human mind is revealed. The study of the sanctuary may properly engage the interest of the one who desires to understand the purposes of the Creator in the salvation of the rigorous and the final disposition of evil.

The 1646 edition of 'The First London Confession of Faith' was the confession of faith of seven Particular Baptist congregations in London. It was written prior to Acts of Parliament in 1649 ratifying the Westminster Confession of Faith with its Larger and Shorter Catechisms. The Appendix by Benjamin Cox to the 1646 edition of 'The First London Confession' was also printed in 1646. The writers of the confession and Benjamin Cox were clearly biblically oriented Calvinists on the sovereignty of God and the particularism of elective grace. These two historic Baptist documents exude Christ in the interpretation of Scripture.
