Baptists and Public Life in Canada
History & Biography
“Building on a generation of Canadian Baptist and Canadian Religious historical scholarship, this fine volume of essays develops a more nuanced and in-depth look at some key issues and Baptist leaders before 1950. The papers contribute some significant insights that add positively, not only to our understanding of the role of Baptists in public life, but to the important role religion played in Canadian public life.”
History & Biography
“UK "Baptists have had a varied approach to war from the Pietist/Reformed tensions of four hundred years ago to the reactions to the Vietnam War. This work explores the theme in different time periods and, using a number of individuals as case studies, opens the past so the reader can reflect on the present. The volume is an important contribution to both Baptist studies and the Christian approach to war and peace.”
History & Biography
“The authors of this fine work have carefully put Canadian Baptists and their principles in their historical context in such a way that the material is accessible to laity and college students. Using their grasp of Baptist history and beliefs, they even offer suggestions for potential church ministry in the twenty-first century.”
Canadian Baptist Fundamentalism, 1878–1978
History & Biography
“Understanding the role of fundamentalism among Canadian Baptists explains much about their life, ministry, and fragmentation in the twentieth century. This significant volume adds new perspectives on those who thought they were defending indispensable doctrines and demonstrates how Baptist congregational autonomy allowed them to have such a wide impact.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“A magisterial treatment of the development of Israelite monotheism throughout the entire biblical period. . . . The starting point for much new research.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Church discipline is something many Christians say is necessary but very few churches practice. The Thirteenth Discipline places church discipline in the context of healthy church life in what is perceived as a negative part of church life, and argues that it is important for church health. The author has allowed me to use part of the material from this work in class and students have found it challenging and it has opened new ideas for future ministry for prospective pastors.”
History & Biography
“Using seven biographical and topical essays, this excellent primer captures the contributions of an important early Baptist. Hanserd Knollys’ story needs to be known widely for, as a devout pastor and scholar who lived and suffered in turbulent times, the Evangelical faith he modeled and the doctrines he articulated are still important for this generation.”
