In the seventeenth century, English Baptists existed on the fringe
of the nation's collective religious life. Today, Baptists have
developed into one of the world's largest Protestant denominations.
Despite this impressive transformation, those first English
Baptists remain chronically misunderstood. In Orthodox Radicals,
Matthew C. Bingham clarifies and analyzes the origins and identity
of Baptists during the English Revolution, arguing that
mid-seventeenth century Baptists did not, in fact, understand
themselves to be a part of a larger, all-encompassing Baptist
movement. Contrary to both the explicit statements of many
historians and the tacit suggestion embedded in the very use of
"Baptist" as an overarching historical category, the early modern
men and women who rejected infant baptism would not have initially
understood that single theological stance as being in itself
constitutive of a new collective identity. Rather, the rejection of
infant baptism was but one of a number of doctrinal revisions then
taking place among English puritans eager to further their on-going
project of godly reformation. Orthodox Radicals complicates our
understanding of Baptist identity, setting the early English
Baptists in the cultural, political, and theological context of the
wider puritan milieu out of which they arose. The book also speaks
to broader themes, including early modern debates on religious
toleration, the mechanisms by which early modern actors established
and defended their tenuous religious identities, and the perennial
problem of anachronism in historical writing. Bingham also
challenges the often too-hasty manner in which scholars have drawn
lines of theological demarcation between early modern religious
bodies, and reconsiders one of this period's most dynamic and
influential religious minorities from a fresh and perhaps
controversial perspective. By combining a provocative
reinterpretation of Baptist identity with close readings of key
theological and political texts, Orthodox Radicals offers the most
original and stimulating analysis of mid-seventeenth-century
Baptists in decades.

Negarle a una persona el derecho a saber algo que es cierto es
inmoral y posiblemente la mayor tragedia de todas. Esto significa
que, puesto que Dios, Jesus y la Escritura son verdaderos entonces
retener esa informacion es simplemente erroneo. Rice Broocks trae
un libro clave sobre como lograr que la necesidad logica de
proclamar el Evangelio, se convierta en nuestra maxima prioridad.
Asi como el libro, God's Not Dead, establecia el razonamiento
logico de la existencia de Dios, y el Mesias, hombre y mito,
establecio la existencia e identidad de Jesucristo, ahora Rice
Broocks trae un libro clave sobre como lograr que la necesidad
logica de proclamar el Evangelio, se convierta en nuestra maxima
prioridad. De hecho, es en verdad el maximo asunto de justicia y,
por lo tanto, el mas importante de todos los derechos humanos.
Consciente o inconscientemente, hoy muchos creen que demostrar la
tolerancia es mas importante que la verdad. Fundamentalmente, el
derecho a conocer la verdad es aun mayor que la libertad de creer.
Dado que Jesucristo es la verdad, no se le puede negar a la
humanidad el derecho a oir hablar de el, tomar su propia decision y
luego tener la libertad para contarle a otros. Este libro unico ha
sido escrito para lograr los siguientes objetivos: * Replantear el
Evangelio como una cuestion de derechos humanos... * Restablecer el
Evangelio como nuestra prioridad... * Explicar por que la verdad
existe, en primer lugar... * Defender la verdad de la biblia... *
Explicar por que el diseno y proposito de Dios hace que los
problemas de genero absurdos... * Mostrar que la inmoralidad es
mala independientemente de la ley humana... ?Que es la verdad?
?Realmente existe Dios? ?Es la Biblia verdadera? Todo esto sera
examinado mas detalladamente en este libro. Jesus afirma que el es
la verdad, no solo habla la verdad. Por tanto, si Cristo es la
verdad, y todos merecen saber lo que es verdadero, entonces el
derecho mas esencial de todos es conocer a Jesucristo y a darlo a
conocer. Un libro diferente de evangelismo.
