In the late 1600s, the Baptist Confession of Faith was first penned for the churches to have a document upon which they agreed for the principles of their faith. Over the centuries, this document has been revised and adapted as needed to help the reader understand its meaning.

In this current edition, Brandon James Crawford stays true to the Elizabethan English while adapting some of the wording for the modern-day reader in an attempt to help believers share it in their homes, schools, businesses, and churches.

To reinforce what is taught within, Crawford also includes the Baptist Catechism at the end in hopes of making the reader stand even firmer in their faith. Any believer would benefit from the words within to help them to understand their own beliefs and the foundation on which they stand.
