"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
'To endure the hardships of the frontier took more than a
determined pioneer spirit. It required a faith that everything
would work out for the best-that something more was to come other
than the meager crops they scratched out of the earth."-from "The
Minutes of Salem Baptist Church"Salem Baptist Church was one of the
small pioneer churches that nurtured that faith. Located near
Birchwood, Tennessee, Salem Baptist Church led the community in the
midst of its physical hardships from 1835 to 1941. Through the
Civil War, Reconstruction, the migration of its members to Texas
for cheap land, the turn of the century, and later, the depression,
the small church led its community in faith.The minutes and
supporting research provide not only a unique history of the
families in the community, but also a unique genealogical record of
over 175 families told through church action and membership
records. Join Daniel Lee Roark on his journey through the history
of this small pioneer church in East Tennessee. Experience the
coming together of these families, turning to the Lord in difficult
circumstances.
"Baptists have a rich and wonderful heritage. But I have discovered
through listening and reading that many persons in our Baptist
churches are unfamiliar with this legacy. There are many fine books
that have been written about our Baptist history, but I have
observed that few persons, especially laypersons, are willing to
read these lengthy books. I have attempted in these chapters to
present our Baptist heritage in a few pages."

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.

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.
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.
