Catechisms & Confessions
Some of the richest heritage of literature the generations of the Christian church possess have come in the form of catechisms and confessions of faith. These rich documents, such a the Westminster Shorter Catechism and the Westminster Confession of Faith, the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, or even more recent ones such as The New City Catechism, serve as summary statements of biblical doctrine in short or long compass. Some are designed for the theological student, some intended to teach children the precious doctrines of the faith from their earliest years. We have put these together because whether in short, simple, or long and intricate form, their design is the same: to communicate the whole counsel of God.

A New Exposition of the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689 (Rob Ventura)
$29.95We sold out faster than expected on this title! More are due in on 1/20/23.
For centuries, Baptists have published confessions of faith as formal statements of their beliefs. Chief among these is the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. This doctrinal statement is a spiritual treasure trove worthy of our fresh attention. In this new study, more than twenty contributors unpack its timeless biblical truths, ‘things which are most surely believed among us’ (Luke 1:1). Our prayer is that the Lord will use this volume to richly edify and sanctify His people worldwide, and to assist the churches in pursuing biblical holiness and doctrinal purity. May these labors send God’s people back again and again to the Bible, which is—as the confession states—the ‘only sufficient, certain, and infallible rule of all saving knowledge, faith, and obedience’ (1.1).

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith in Modern English (Stan Reeves)
$4.95The truths that this confession promoted fell out of favor for much of the twentieth century, but in the last fifty years there has been a great recovery of gospel truth among Evangelicals and once again there are those deeply committed to the doctrines of this confession. The English language, however, has changed over time, and just as there are phrases in the Authorized Version (1611), also known as the King James Version, that are no longer as clear as they once were due to linguistic change, so it is the case with the 1689 Confession. For this reason, this new rendition of the confession by Dr. Reeves is indeed welcome. He has sought to render it readable by the typical twenty-first-century Christian reader, but with minimal change and without sacrificing any of the riches of the original text. I believe he has succeeded admirably in both of these aims. (From the Foreword by Michael A.G. Haykin)

A Modern Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith – 5th edition (Samuel Waldron)
$29.99The best edition ever of Samuel Waldron’s work on the 1689.
Modern Christianity is awash in a flood of doctrinal relativity. Satan and his forces love the imprecision and ambiguity which are rampant in our day. As C. H. Spurgeon observed, “The arch- enemy of truth has invited us to level our walls and take away our fenced cities.”
This exposition was originally published in 1989 to mark the 300th anniversary of the publication of the Second London Confession, which also became known as the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. Today, Reformed Baptists worldwide hold this Confession in high esteem and many churches continue to regard it as their official statement of faith. In this extensive exposition, the author Sam Waldron shows that the 1689 Confession is a masterly statement of the historic Christian faith. He writes in a direct and lucid style that will help ministers, students and laymen alike to a clear understanding of this Confession and to its relevance and application to our modern age.
