A Discussion of the Seventeenth Century Particular Baptist Confessions of Faith (Richard P. Belcher, Anthony Mattia)
$9.75Published 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.

After several years without a theological pursuit, Pastor Ira Pointer sets off to seminary, only to find himself enmeshed once again in unique circumstances, which force him to define and defend his convictions concerning the nature of the inspiration of the Bible. In the unfolding of the plot of this story, surprises confront Ira from the very first day of class, while he solves the mystery of the identity of The Strawman, while his convictions firm up and his skill at defending the faith strengthened.

A Journey in Dispensationalism (Richard Belcher)

So what’s Ira Pointer to do, when he is assigned to lead a study with a young man who truly lacks a teachable spirit?

A Journey in Authority (Richard Belcher)

- 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?

A Journey in Baptist History (Richard Belcher)
$8.95Many today, who call themselves Baptists, are totally ignorant of the history and beliefs of their early forefathers. As a result, they mistakenly label those today who are holding historic Baptist beliefs and practices as heretical—or at best they say such people just cannot be Baptists!
Ira Pointer, the central character of our “journey” books, is invited to speak for a number of weeks on Baptist history in a somewhat typical present day Baptist church. And when he teaches the true history and doctrine of the early Baptists, one man especially, the Chairman of the Deacons, tries every way possible to close down the studies. Ira Pointer, he thinks, is not a Baptist! The other people of the church are also shocked at what they hear, but they are gracious enough to listen to the presentation with open hearts and minds, and then they are shocked at what they had never been taught about Baptist history and doctrine!
Much turmoil and danger unfolds in both mystery and uncertainty, as Ira with the backing of Dink and the pastor sets forth his convictions concerning Baptist history!

Doing an Effective Greek Word Study (Richard Belcher)
$1.49Many 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)
$1.49The 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.
