The Confessing Baptist: Essays on the Use of Creeds in Baptist Faith and Life

Paperback
6" x 9"
296 pages

Available on Amazon Kindle

Edited by Robert Gonzales Jr.

A growing number of Baptist churches today are rediscovering their confessional heritage. The contributors to this book welcome this rediscovery. Indeed, they hope it continues! With that end in view, they have written and compiled these essays to celebrate and commend the use of creeds and confessions in Baptist faith and life. The primary audiences they have in view are local church leaders and members because sound theology is not just the province of the academy but is essential to the health and ministry of the local church.
