Excerpt from Baptist Principles: Letters to My Son
You are not yet a Christian. But I hope and pray that you may soon give your heart to Christ. When you do, the next question will come as to the church you should join. Naturally, you would be disposed to jom a Baptist church, be cause both your mother and myself are Baptists. But I want you to have a better reason for being a Baptist than Simply because your father and mother are. I want you to be a Baptist, of course. But I want you to know Why you are a Baptist, and to be able to give a reason for the faith that is in you to any one that may ask you.
So I address these letters to you, to tell you about these Baptist people, who they are, where they came from, what they believe, and Why they believe it. I shall try to tell these things in as simple and plain a manner as possible, so that you will be able to comprehend the truths expressed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the form of a series of letters written by a Baptist minister to his son, aiming to explain the core principles of Baptist faith and practice. The author, a passionate advocate for Baptist principles, delves into the historical and theological underpinnings of the Baptist tradition, tracing its roots back to the early Christian church. The book explores fundamental tenets such as individual interpretation of the Bible, the autonomy of the individual in matters of faith, and the importance of religious liberty. The author emphasizes the unique perspective Baptists hold on topics like baptism, the Lord's Supper, and church governance, arguing that their approach aligns with a more democratic and individualistic view of Christianity. Through historical anecdotes and scriptural insights, the author paints a picture of a faith that champions freedom of conscience and individual responsibility in the pursuit of spiritual truth, highlighting the Baptist commitment to these ideals throughout history.
