Reformed Baptist Systematic Theologies

HOME

^{Reformed Baptists haven’t produced the volume of writing that the Reformed Presbyterians have, but quantity isn’t everything! The independent nature of most Baptist works hasn’t historically supported the collegiate framework that fosters academic writing. Perhaps a case of stewarding the precious resources of time and energy for the work of evangelism and missions. The gap has been filled by many baptist authors who laboured on topical issues. But there are Systematic Works by Baptists and the following links indicate the quality and rigour of their efforts. Though differing from conservative Reformed Presbyterians and Paedobaptist Independents on the understanding of the covenant, the identity of the church and, of course, the baptism of babies, there is an overwhelming degree of common ground on the essentials of the Christian Faith.}
