… SB fathers on the doctrine can be gathered from the Principles, the writings of such as Boyce and Dagg and the separate church confessions of the member churches. One of the Great Pioneers of the Southern Baptist movement was Isaac McCoy, called the Apostle of the Western Trail and pioneer missionary to and educator of the Native Americans. In 1822 at the Fort Wayne missionary station on the Wabash, the Potawatomi Baptist Church drew up their Declaration of Faith which was accepted later by …

An editorial downgrading
Recently, BOT editor, Walter Chantry, published three essays under the title ‘Sort of’ Reformed , dealing, amongst other things, with New Covenant Theology. 1 Though he concluded that new NCT is worse than old Neonomianism, he accepted many NCT ideas regarding ‘moral law’ and Mosaic Law, arguing for a new Neonomianism and a new emphasis on …
Sir:
Iain Murray’s excellent, necessarily selective, overview of evangelicalism’s ups and downs (Issues 455-6) reveals the need of more pan-European study of the growth of Liberalism. Schleiermacher, of Moravian background and heart, was very much influenced by British Latidudinarians from whom he gained his love of Natural Law as opposed to revealed law. British Methodism helped …
Sir,
J.R. Brogan writes (Aug, 10/17), “There may be other readers who, like Dr. Ella, cannot see why ‘Rev. 18:1-4 cannot be lightly dismissed as irrelevant today’”. Those new to the debate will thus be led to believe that I lightly dismiss this Scriptural exhortation and find it irrelevant to the European problem. Mr. Brogan’s reference was to words that I wrote and meant and had a timely …
Sir:
It is understandable that one who identified himself so closely with the English Reformers, Whitfield and the Marrow Men should be criticised by Arminians. For Huntington, Arminians were Antinomians who rejected the condemning and convicting use of the law in evangelism, inviting sinners to approach God “as if they had never apostatized”. They believed that man was not …
Irresistible Grace

A lecture given at the Protestant Reformation Society,

Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, England
Irresistible grace represents the traditional ‘I’ in the acronym ‘TULIP’. So now I shall tease you a little. The name ‘Tulip’ comes from the same Turkish root as ‘turban’ and the flower of that name was introduced by the Turks to Europe as a symbol of …

A Sketch of Covenant Truth and Its Witnesses
John E. Hazleton
I discovered a real gem in this morning’s post. It was a small, solidly-backed, well-illustrated book. I forgot my morning newspaper as I read through its pages. Rarely have I found such excellency packed into such a small space. Truth for Today has done their readers a great service by reprinting …
The annual Dutch Haamstede Conference, held in Garderen, which draws some 160 pastors, evangelists and teachers has become a spiritual home for me and a highlight of each year. The conferences I occasionally visit in Scandinavia, Germany, North America and England are edifying and instructive, but there is just nothing to compare with the deep spirituality, warm fellowship, eager …

The bulk of BOT publications between the late nineteen-fifties and mid-eighties were a great support to the churches. Since then the BOT have lowered their standards to meet a wider readerships and have bowed to popular demands for less …
History of the English Calvinistic Baptists 1771-1892: from John Gill to C. H. Spurgeon
Robert W. Oliver, BOT.
Emerging Deconstructionism
This book is based on Robert Oliver’s 1985 doctoral dissertation. His title is misleading. It is not a history of the British Calvinistic Baptists but, as Michael Haykin’s Foreword explains, an analysis of controversies regarding …
