350 years ago, Baptists brought renewal to the church. Today, the Baptist movement itself stands in deep need of renewal. Beset by hostility from without and compromise from within, many churches find themselves adrift in uncharted waters. The way forward won't be found through novel spiritual practices, clever leadership techniques, or progressive moral chaos. What Baptists need, this book argues, is a fresh rediscovery of the distinctives that first defined us. That's because these historic convictions are far more than bits of tradition. Deeply rooted in the pages of Scripture, they represent nothing less than the will of the Lord for his church. With open Bibles and prayerful hearts, join us as we seek Baptist renewal together.
