  • A Discussion of the Seventeenth Century Particular Baptist Confessions of Faith (Richard P. Belcher, Anthony Mattia)

    Published to Examine the Historical, Political, and Religious Background of the 1644 and 1689 London Baptist Confessions of Faith.

    There are those today who claim that The First London Confession in its 1644 and 1646 editions has a different view of the Law than does The Second London Confession of 1689. It is contended that the First London Confession has a New Covenant emphasis that was lost or eliminated in the Second London Confession. The Second, it is claimed, possessed an Old Covenant emphasis concerning the Law because of the influence of the Westminster Confession as its view was forced on Baptists by the historical, religious, and political climate of the day.

    Dr. Belcher and Anthony Mattia examine these claims to determine their historical validity. The authors set forth the evidence from history in a clear and convincing manner as they reach definite conclusions concerning this important and controversial subject. This book is a must for those who want to inform themselves further about the religious and political background of the seventeenth century Baptist confessions of faith.

    The first biography of A.W. Pink ever written. A peculiar man, but a faithful preacher, this biography, while showing that Pink had an eccentric and often hard personality, the author tries to understand his actions and reactions in the theologically desperate and dark times in which he lived, and how Pink sought earnestly to awaken the church to neglected truths.

    The result is not only a presentation of facts and events but an interpretive biography that reveals the man and his heart-beat for the eternal God and His glory.

  • Layman’s Guide to the Sabbath Question (Dr. Richard Belcher)

    Believers today have varying convictions concerning a day of worship and practices related to such a day. But how many understand why they do or do not follow such practices?  The authors of A Layman’s Guide to the Sabbath Question seek to aid all believers in coming to a clearer understanding of this Sabbath question.

    First, they present three views concerning Sabbath or Lord’s Day observance. Second, they compare these three positions. Finally, suggestions are given the reader to guide him to a personal conclusion in the matter.

    All who read this work will not only develop a clearer understanding of their own position, but they will also come to a sharper focus of the other viewpoints and those tenets which distinguish the three.

  • A Journey in Authority (Richard Belcher)

    The continuing story of pastor Ira Pointer, facing another theological pursuit: this one, Biblical church government.

He has to study the Scriptures to determine:

    • What is an elder?
    • What authority does an elder have?
    • And what are a church’s obligations to their elders, and his obligations to the church?

  • Doing an Effective Greek Word Study (Richard Belcher)

    Many Bible students have learned a method of doing a Greek word study. But few of those methods actually show a person how to do a word study from the important, first-hand sources of Biblical days, that is, the sources from the Hellenistic and Classical periods, the patristic fathers, and primarily from the Biblical sources.

    This present work presents not only a step-by-step manual on how to do a Greek word study, but also lists vital reference works to be used in tracing those sources.

    When the student finishes learning this method, he will not have to take the word of others concerning the meaning of a Greek word, but he will be able to make his own determination, as well as judge the conclusions of others in regard to their statements about the meaning of Greek words.

  • Doing Textual Criticism in the Greek New Testament (Richard Belcher)

    The thought of doing their own work of textual criticism in the Greek New Testament, for many Greek students, is to approach a maze of hopelessness and impossibility. They have seen statements here and there in various books of the principles of textual criticism, but have never found a simple manual which not only provides the principles, but also gives a step-by-step discussion on how to accomplish the task.

    This present work gives the student a simple explanation of the work of textual criticism, and also that step-by-step discussion of how to do it. The author first identifies the sources of New Testament textual criticism. Second, he discusses the categories or families of the New Testament manuscripts. Third, he presents the classes of scribal errors that one must be aware of if he is to do textual criticism.

    Fourth, he gives a simple explanation of how to apply the principles of New Testament textual criticism and actually accomplish the work.

    Fifth and finally, he shows the student how to synthesize the material and draw conclusions.
