Baptist Theology

While the Christian tradition has subordinated John the Baptist to Jesus of Nazareth, John himself would likely have disagreed with that ranking. In this eye-opening new book John the Baptist in History and Theology, Joel Marcus makes a powerful case that John saw himself, not Jesus, as the proclaimer and initiator of the kingdom of God and his own ministry as the center of God's saving action in history.

In this stirring systematic theology of atonement, Owen Strachan turns our gaze to the biblical Jesus—the greater David, a mighty king who comes in the power of God to save sinners and destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). The true Jesus is the most fascinating subject in all history: he is Lamb and Lion, gentle and ferocious, divine yet a humble servant. All these graces bear down on one moment in time: the cross. The Warrior Savior brings together strands of doctrine that are too often separated, notably penal substitutionary atonement and Christus Victor.

This work is not a personal history. For 15 years, I was a layman in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and having had my attention called to the subjects and mode of Baptism, after two years of careful study of the subject I deemed it my duty to unite with the Baptists.

What does it mean to be a Christian in today's turbulent world? After every disillusionment and debate, what convictions survive? Introducing Christian Ethics offers listeners a way to understand how to situate moral reasoning not only in scripture, but also in tradition and human reasoning. It offers a focus on Jesus and the disinherited, and a nuanced rethinking of the kingdom of God and its meaning for Christian ethics. Drawing on Gushee's own work and life story, but also a richly diverse set of sources, it covers principles like virtues, truthfulness, love, and justice.

A Defense of Calvinism is a classic text by Charles H. Spurgeon. This rendition is beautifully narrated by Bryan Nyman.

As you embark on this deeply personal journey of understanding the significance of truth, I urge you to consider its relevance in your own life. Is truth a guiding principle for you? If so, this exploration will resonate profoundly. It's a journey of challenges, as every truth must contend with adversaries. What are these adversaries? Lies. They wield significant influence, capable of shaping outcomes that impact us all. The result is the serpent’s and woman’s seeds, found in Genesis 3:15.

Although the cross is God's decisive deed in human history, the full meaning of it is far too much for a mere human mind to grasp. But through Henry Blackaby's careful examination, the cross becomes not a doctrine, but an experience. You'll be overwhelmed with the utter significance of Christ's death, leading you to a stronger sense of God's power in your daily life.

Rick Warren is arguably the most influential man in American religion today. Megachurch pastor, friend of world leaders, and trend-setting spiritual entrepreneur, he is widely recognized as the new public face of evangelical Christianity in America. No other modern churchman has matched his success as a leader and motivator of Christians.

Dans ce recueil, nous vous présentons trois documents qui intègrent simultanément la doctrine chrétienne universelle, l’essentiel de la Réforme protestante et les particularités de la foi baptiste. Ces documents sont suffisamment détaillés pour communiquer clairement les articles fondamentaux de la foi chrétienne, sans être exhaustifs ou exagérément pointus dans toutes les précisions théologiques.

Using plain language and word pictures, Spurgeon shares an earnest word for those who are seeking salvation. It has been written to show clearly how much we all need grace and how much grace is available for our needs. The writer would like to compel us, by his words, to come to Jesus Christ and receive that grace. A classic on a great subject written by one of the greatest preachers who ever lived.

"Baptismal Regeneration" is a classic sermon by Charles Spurgeon, first delivered on Sunday Morning, June 5, 1864. This narration is exquisitely performed by Bryan Nyman.
