"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.

" Colorful and outrageous, influential yet despicable, J. Frank Norris was a preacher, newspaper publisher, political activist, and all-around subject of controversy. One of the most despised men in traditional Southern Baptist circles, he was also the man most responsible for bringing hard-edged fundamentalism to the South. Barry Hankins traces Norris, the ""Texas Cyclone,"" from his boyhood in small-town Texas to his death in 1952. Despite scandals, Norris was a man of considerable public influence who traveled the owrkd, corresponded with congressmen, and attended president's Hoover's inaguration at Hoover's invitation. Through his preaching career he battled anyone and everyone he saw as part of the leftist conspiracy to foist liberalism and immorality on America. This account reveals a remarkable man who helped shape the current American religious landscape.

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.
