Restore Unity, Recover Identity, and Refine Orthopraxy

Theology

“'This book should serve as a wonderful resource for those who want to think about Baptist views on the church in light of alternative traditions without feeling as if they have just encountered a Baptist fist fight.'”

The Gospel-Centered Evangelicalism of Alexander Carson

History & Biography

“John Gill ably situates the life and writings of Alexander Carson within the confines of nineteenth-century evangelicalism, using David Bebbington’s standard quadrilateral as a guide. Evangelicals from all denominations will find in Carson a Baptist friend whose commitment to the spread of the gospel derived from his love of Christ and confidence in the Bible. This is a lucidly written and cogently argued work that will be an edifying resource for scholars and pastors alike.”

The Making of a Battle Royal

History & Biography

“Jeffrey Straub’s The Making of a Battle Royal describes the difficulty in balancing the elements of cooperative efforts and convictional standards in Northern Baptist life over a fifty-year period. For readers mildly acquainted with this era it is a strange tale indeed, with prominent Baptists denying biblical truths in favor of scientific and societal winds of change. Straub is eminently fair in his contextualization of how liberal ideas appealed to a segment of Baptist theologians. and he is perfectly clear in his assessment of liberal theology as a new departure from Baptist principles. Though he contends that conservatives lost nearly every battle during this period, Straub’s story indicates that much more was lost by the winners of their day.”
