Baptist Vision : Faith And Practice For A Believer’s Church
$19.99What does it mean to be Baptist?The Baptist Vision: Faith and Practice for a Believers’ Church answers this question by introducing readers to the distinctive theology and practice of Baptists and by putting forward a biblical, charitable, and winsome presentation of the Baptist vision. Authors Matthew Y. Emerson and R. Lucas Stamps begin by examining the theological foundations of the Baptist movement: catholic, reformational, evangelical, and covenantal. They then demonstrate how these foundations issue forth Baptist distinctives (believers’ baptism, congregationalism, religious liberty, and more) and Baptist practices (worship, holiness, and missions). Not simply descriptive, The Baptist Vision will also suggest a particular vision for the Baptist future, one that is more explicitly and intentionally positioned as a renewal movement within the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. This book will appeal to Baptist and non-Baptist readers alike as Emerson and Stamps delve into themes that resonate with the broader body of Christ while simultaneously highlighting the rich beauty of the Baptist faith.

Amidst Us Our Bleoved Stands
$24.99When it comes to baptism and the Lord’s Supper, many Baptists reject the language of sacrament. As a people of the book, the logic goes, Baptists must not let tradition supersede the Bible. So Baptists tend to view baptism and Communion as ordinances and symbols, not sacraments.
But the history of Baptists and the sacraments is complicated. In Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands, Michael A. G. Haykin argues that earlier Baptists, such as Charles Spurgeon, stood closer to Reformed sacramental thought than most Baptists today do. More than mere memorials, baptism and Communion have spiritual implications that were celebrated by Baptists of the past. Haykin calls for a renewal of sacramental life in churches today-Baptists can and should be sacramental.

8. We’re Calvinists Best When We Aren’t Calvinists FirstAdditional Info
Humble Calvinism is both a helpful summary of what Calvinism is, and a helpful challenge to those who are convinced Calvinists. It calls us to hold Calvinism in our hearts, not just in our heads, so that we are humble and gracious as well as zealous for the truth, to the praise and glory of Christ and his church.Author Jeff Medders admits that he is quick to defend Calvinism, but often slow to humbly love Christians who take a different view. His warm-hearted, challenging (and surprisingly witty) book takes readers through the the five points of Calvinism, revealing that a true understanding has a humbling effect on our hearts, fueling a love of Christ and his people that builds others up, rather than tearing them down.
