Status Updates From Baptists and the Christian ...

The chapter on worship was really good. The author made the argument that Baptists should seek better continuity with Christian tradition yet in a way that upholds Baptist freedom in worship. His interaction on the power of the Psalms is excellent. Plus, the author proposes a few areas that Baptists can learn from tradition.

So exciting to learn about Baptist history and thought, while at the same time seeing its rooted-ness in historic Christian faith and classic formulations of essential doctrine and practice.

I have been interested in pursuing a more positive theological and historic identity in being baptist. Seeing it as connected to historic Christian faith and practice, and examining baptist distinctive in light of Church tradition. This book is the first step towards that goal.
