Covenant Theology
The Fatal Flaw of the Theology Behind Infant Baptism (Revised)
Back in 2010, I offered a brief review and recommendation of The Fatal Flaw of the Theology Behind Infant Baptism, in which I stated that it then topped my list of the best books in defense of believer’s baptism. Well, it still tops my list, so you can imagine how excited I am that it…
1689 Federalism: What is it?
Yesterday, Anthony Uvenio interviewed Brandon Adams of 1689Federalism.com, which I think is the best website for anyone who wants to become acquainted with Reformed Baptist theology. It is a very interesting discussion, and I recommend taking time to watch.
Brandon Adams’ Helpful Outline of Nehemiah Coxe’s Discourse of the Covenants
Some years ago I was happy to post Brandon Adam’s Collapsible Outline of Owen on Hebrews 8:6-13. Today I would like to post another such outline offered by Brandon, this time of Nehemiah Coxe’s A Discourse of the Covenants that God Made with Men before the Law. These outlines should prove quite helpful when reading…

The Kingdom of God by Jeff Johnson Is Now Avaliable
The wait is finally over! Jeff Johnson’s new book, The Kingdom of God: A Baptist Expression of Covenant & Biblical Theology, is now available for order. Here is the description of the book at the website: Is there a central plot to the Bible? And if so, why is the Bible divided into two different…
Giving Uncle Sam His Due
Would it not be nice if it really were a sin to pay taxes? I get discouraged, very discouraged, when I think that a third of my paycheck goes to Uncle Sam. Nevertheless, the Bible says something along the lines as, “render to Uncle Sam what is Uncle Sam’s.” So paying taxes, sadly, is not…
Testimonial About ‘The Fatal Flaw’
The following testimonial was sent to our own Jeff Johnson regarding his excellent book, The Fatal Flaw of the Theology Behind Infant Baptism, which I have previously recommended here: I came to reformed theology in 2010 by increments and like most, with much wrestling. Primarily my struggles concerned soteriology and what is commonly called the…
