He has produced a library of scholarship and has shaped a generation of Baptist ministers and leaders. He has also done what few scholars ever have the opportunity or courage to do - he has reset the terms of debate for an entire denomination of churches. Thanks to Tom Nettles and his influence, there are important truths that are known and now cannot be denied." - From the Foreword, R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky "These essays are offered in honor of Tom Nettles with full recognition that our Triune God is the One who deserves all praise for his life and ministry. Our Lord is the One who gives 'pastors and teachers to equip the saints for works of ministry' (Ephesians 4:11-12). We thank God for raising Tom up in our day and using him mightily in the effort to defend the authority of Scripture and recover the gospel that it reveals. Our hope is that this book, which addresses subjects that Tom himself has emphasized in his teaching and writing, will also prove useful in showing that all that we are and have is truly by God's grace and for His glory." - From the Introduction, Tom Ascol, Senior Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, Cape Coral, Florida BRAND NEW 342 Page Hardcover Volume  SGCB Price: $20.00 (list price $30.00)Add a Copy of BY HIS GRACE AND FOR HIS GLORY SGCB Price: $23.50 (list price $35.00)THIS PRICE VALID ONLY IF ORDERING BOTH BOOKS |

 | | THE BAPTISM OF DISCIPLES ALONE A Covenantal Argument for Credobaptism versus Paedobaptism - Revised & Expanded Fred Malone "Fred Malone has written one of the most important books on baptism to appear in at least the last two hundred years; and every thoughtful Christian will find The Baptism of Disciples Alone to be an essential guide to thinking through the debate between what Dr. Malone rightly identifies as the 'paedobaptists' and the 'credobaptists.' The Lord Jesus Christ set baptism at the center of Christian worship and as the defining mark of Christian identity. Dr. Malone is a scholar and pastor who argues with biblical passion and instructs by personal testimony. He presents his case with the skill of an attorney, the conviction of a theologian, and the care of a faithful pastor; and he is right! We are all in his debt." - Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary This book sets out to prove that the Bible authorizes only credobaptism, the baptism of disciples alone. It will be of great help to those who desire a better understanding of the Baptist position for credobaptism versus paedobaptism. The book is hardcover and is published with the help of the Association of Reformed Baptist Churches of America. An Excerpt from the Author's Preface As a former Presbyterian minister, I baptized two of my infants. I was sincere. It was meaningful. I believed that paedobaptism was biblical. However, I was sincerely and biblically wrong. Now, I am convinced that the baptism authorized by the Bible is the baptism of disciples. In fact, I believe the Bible authorizes the baptism of disciples alone. This position may also be called credobaptism, from the Latin verb credo, meaning believe or trust. Other designations are believer's baptism, confessor's baptism, or professor's baptism, all synonyms describing the baptism of disciples alone. Hoping to be gracious toward my paedobaptist friends and mentors, the purpose of this book is to prove that the Bible authorizes only disciple's baptism. This book is also written, however, to help parents, pastors and laymen better understand the Baptist position for credobaptism versus paedobaptism so they can decide which local church to join and serve in.

| | THE REASON FOR THE SEASON Edited by Bob Agee and Roger Duke Commendations "The contributors to this fine volume address the problem of pain and suffering not only with powerful insights from their own personal experiences, but also with clarifying pastoral and theological reflection. When people experience hurt and suffering, when they face the confusion associated with many of life's challenges, they want and need practical as well as scriptural guidance. Such guidance can be found throughout the various chapters in this volume. I am confident that the biblical encouragement found in these pages will be helpful for many." - Dr. David S Dockery, President, Union University, Jackson, Tennessee "In the early days of my pastoral ministry, I began to learn that there is a hurt in every heart and in every home. While the contributors to this book present many reminders of this tearful reality, they also testify that the grace of God is sufficient to sustain the followers of Jesus in a fallen, broken world." - Dr. Donald S.

 click for details | | By His Grace and For His Glory: A Historical, Theological, and Practical Study of the Doctrines of Grace in Baptist Life Tom Nettles Initially this book arose, published in 1986, as a response to church reactions to the January Bible Study of 1980. Since then, the issues engaged have become more visible, more widely embraced by church members, pastors, denominational servants, more controversial and ardently opposed by some, and the subject of many discussion groups in churches and a variety of denominational settings. The attention focused on the doctrines of grace is good; it is healthy to give intense thought to issues of God's holiness, His sovereignty, and His efficacious and infinitely wise design in the justification of sinners under the curse of His Law. Revised and Expanded 20th Anniversary Edition "Tom Nettles' book By His Grace and For His Glory is a landmark study. Bringing together the disciplines of the school, the concerns of the preacher and the heart of a Christian, Nettles effectively reminds Baptists of our own day what so many before us believed to be the gospel." - Mark Dever "A valuable contribution both for its history of Baptist theology and for its insistence on the loss by Baptists of their Calvinist heritage as well as for its clear and candid statement of Calvinism for today." (ADRIS Newsletter) Tom Ascol: "Fifteen years after its first appearance, Tom Nettles' book remains an important work for modern Baptists. His major historical thesis - that the doctrines of grace formed a theological consensus among Baptists in the Southern states from the mid-nineteenth century into the first quarter of the twentieth century - has not seriously been engaged, much less refuted, by detractors and others who are less than thrilled by this doctrinal heritage. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to be honest when assessing historic Southern Baptist theology."(Pastor, Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, Florida; Editor, Founders Journal) CALVIN 500 CELEBRATION 30% Discount SGCB Price: $23.95 (list price $34.95)Save: $11.00 |

 click for details | | Abstract of Systematic Theology James P. Boyce A concise systematic theology by the principle founder of the first Southern Baptist seminary. Appendices include: "A Brief Catechism of Bible Doctrine," Abstract of Principles and a Scripture Index. The doctrinal stream in which Boyce's views are found can rightly be called Calvinistic or Reformed. He, like most early Southern Baptist leaders, was clearly convinced of the doctrines of sovereign grace. John Broadus, Boyce's friend and colleague, made this observation about what he called "that exalted system of Pauline truth" expounded in Boyce's Abstract: The people who sneer at what is called Calvinism, might as well sneer at Mont Blanc. We are not bound in the least to defend all of Calvin's opinions or actions, but I do not see how any one who really understands the Greek of the Apostle Paul or the Latin of Calvin or Turretin can fail to see that these latter did but interpret and formulate substantially what the former teaches. May the Lord use this book from the pen of one of the greatest Southern Baptists ever to live to promote reformation and revival throughout churches everywhere. -from the Publisher's Introduction 30% Discount SGCB Price: $21.95 (list price $29.95) |

| | SOLDIERS OF CHRIST Selections from the Writings of Basil Manly, Sr. and Basil Manly, Jr Michael Haykin, Roger Duke & James Fuller Basil Manly, Sr. and his son Basil Manly, Jr. played vital roles in shaping a number of the central institutions of the Southern Baptist community in its formative years in the nineteenth century, including the influential Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Undergirding their churchmanship was a vigorous Calvinistic Baptist piety that was expressed in sermons and tracts, hymns and confessional statements, letters and diaries, all of which are represented in this timely volume of selections from their writings. Here we have a wonderful window onto the vista of nineteenth-century Southern Baptist life with all of its glorious strengths as well as its clear failings. SGCB Price: $11.75 (list price $17.95) |

| | STRAY RECOLLECTIONS, SHORT ARTICLES AND PUBLIC ORATIONS James P. Boyce, edited by Thomas J. Nettles When the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary was founded in 1859, the single most influential person behind its establishment was James Petigru Boyce, the privileged first-born son of the second wife of a wealthy South Carolina entrepreneur, Ker Boyce. When the Seminary's young life was threatened with extermination by the Civil War and the economic terrors that followed, many heroes emerged for reviving it, but, again, the one on whom it most singularly depended was Boyce. This book comes as an effort to increase knowledge and understanding about the developing talents of Boyce and his persevering pursuit of theological education for Baptists of the South. To accomplish that, it includes some documents never before published as well as some that have been published in full and others in part.

 | | Pentecost -- Today? The Biblical Basis for Understanding Revival Iain H. Murray Some today find no justification for a theology of revival in the Bible and see the whole revival emphasis as a distraction from the duty of seizing present opportunities: for them the subject has been worn out by its advocates and discredited by unfulfilled hopes. Yet others remain convinced that revival is the only answer and that a renewed fulfillment of 2 Chronicles 7:14 ought to be our great expectation. Against the background of these different views - and accepting neither of them - lain Murray argues for fresh thinking from Scripture. Pentecost showed that the gospel is able to win sudden acceptance despite the strongest opposition. But if - as some believe Pentecost is a permanent reality, how is it that Christianity can often differ so much from the apostolic pattern? And how are we to explain those epochs in history when men, filled afresh with the Spirit of God, saw advances which were indeed comparable with those of the early church? Did the secret he in renewed obedience, in prayer, or simply in the sovereign intervention of God? And if the action of God is the sole explanation where does Scripture's strong emphasis on human responsibility come in? Answers to these questions involve profound mystery. But Scripture is clear on what is given more abundantly to those who pray for the Holy Spirit - stronger faith in the truth and hearts enlarged in love are always the foremost evidences of his power. Pentecost-Today? is a different approach to questions crucial to the present state of the church. SGCB Price: $12.99 (list price $20.99)Save: $8.00 |

 | | A Foundation for the Future: The Southern Baptist Message and Mission Tom Nettles From the Back Cover -- Baptists, like other Christians, are defined by doctrine--some of it common to all orthodox and evangelical groups and a portion of it importantly distinctive. Theological reformation is urgently needed in order to promote the spiritual effectiveness and longevity of the recent return to biblical authority. This reformation will speak with renewed vigor and fidelity in biblical exposition, walk circumspectly but energetically with beautiful gospel-bearing feet, strain forward toward the heavenly goal of Christ's transforming return, and remember the example and faith of Baptist pilgrims of the past. Who were the people and what were the teachings that gave Southern Baptists the bones, ligaments, muscles, breath, and blood to endure and prosper in the intensity of the twentieth century? Looking back to the founding fathers has the potential to provoke spiritual renewal by helping modern believers more clearly understand the Word of God. Such a reformation and revival among the Southern Baptists could, under God, significantly influence the missions, theological education, worship, and evangelism in the entire modern evangelical world.... Those who maintain fidelity to historic Baptist theology should not be discouraged by present controversies or strong opposition. Reformation and revival never come without great tribulation. The founders of the convention and supporters of the original missionary and educational enterprises would certainly not expect their theological heirs to forsake the practical manifestation of that heritage simply to avoid conflict. If there is a "downgrade," we must work for an "upgrade." If opposition to biblical theology is experienced, it is no more than the orthodox of any generation have withstood. A blast of the trumpet to return to the faith once-delivered, as believed wholeheartedly by the original Southern Baptists, is needed. This small book is designed to encourage those who appreciate the urgency of these issues to take up their trumpets, draw their breaths, and sound out the call for action.

 | | Beyond Five Points Ernest C. Reisinger & D. Matthew Allen This book presents a Baptist articulation of the Doctrines of Grace, those God-honoring, sinner-debasing truths that hold forth the sinner's only hope and drive him to take refuge from wrath in the perfect satisfaction of Christ's atoning work. As the title indicates, however, the theological concerns addressed here go far beyond the traditional "five points" of Calvinism. The Doctrines of Grace extend from and give symmetry to the full range of categories of traditional systematic theology. They are interrelated with the supremacy of God, and a concern for the glory of God, in all things. The effectively preserve conservative doctrine because they alone provide the fullest, most consistent manifestation of every aspect of Christian truth. The authors provide a cogent defense of those doctrines from Scripture, theology, and Baptist history. Along the way, they demonstrate the truth, goodness and beauty of those doctrines and show that the Baptist brand of Calvinism blends hearts hot for holiness, minds zealous for truth, spirits submissive to God's providence, a vision that sees Christ's atoning work embracing people of all nations, tongues, and tribes, and lives that find their meaning in being consumed to the glory of God. The authors finally urge Baptists everywhere not to grow slack in the proclamation and distribution of gospel truth. Biblical exposition, systematic theology, Baptist history, dealing with vital objections, and encouragement for faithfulness and sobriety and are all done well and integrated beautifully into a holistic defense of the Doctrines of Grace.... The power of orderly arrangement, deep comprehension, and finely tuned argument provide a vehicle of communication worthy of the exalted purpose for which the authors write.

 | | An Interpretation of the English Bible: James, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Corinthians B.H. Carroll "B.H. Carroll was larger-than-life figure in Baptist history, the founder of a great seminary and the shaper of an entire generation. He dearly loved the Word of God, and his powerful preaching was the hallmark of his ministry. His "An Interpretation of the English Bible" is a masterpiece of homiletical achievement. His theological and biblical insights should influence the present generation, just as powerfully as Carroll shaped his own times. Carroll's commitment to the preaching and teaching of the Bible will humble every believer who loves the Word of God." ." - R. Albert Mohler, Jr. "This exellent new edition will make available to twenty-first century students of Holy Scripture a trustworthy commentary that reflects the sound theology of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary's principal founder and first president. As an English Bible commentary, it is unequaled in clarity and faithfulness to the text. You will find it an invaluable tool for personal study, teaching, and preaching." - Kenneth S. Hemphill "The spiritual warmth and simplicity of interpretation testifies to Dr. Carroll's pastoral experience before entering the teaching profession, a greatly needed prerequisitie today for seminary classrooms.

 | | In Defense of the Decalogue A Critique of New Covenant Theology Richard Barcellos New Covenant Theology (NCT) is a movement that seeks to steer a middle road between Covenant Theology and Dispensational Theology. The end product, among other things, is the denial of the perpetuity of the Ten Commandments for Christians. This book seeks to both critique the major tenets of NCT and support the perpetuity of the Decalogue under the New Covenant from an exegetical basis. It argues that NCT goes astray at the point of exegesis. It also argues that NCT has misread historical theology in some crucial areas. The book ends with pertinent challenges to NCT. If you are interested in the issues related to continuity and discontinuity between the testaments, the relationship between the various biblical covenants, and the function of the Ten Commandments in redemptive history, then this book is for you.

 | | A Quiet Revolution: A Chronicle Of Beginnings of Reformation in The Southern Baptist Convention Ernest C. Reisinger & D. Matthew Allen The conservative resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention has been one of the most remarkable changes in theological direction in recent history. After decades of suffering liberalism and neo-orthodoxy in the seminaries and denominational agencies, the people in the pews and pulpits finally said "enough" and reclaimed the denominational infrastructure for orthodoxy. As a result, the Bible is now plainly established in Baptist life as the infallible and inerrant Word of God, truth, without mixture of error, inspired in whole and in all its parts. The question for many is: Where do we go from here? The authors of this book suggest that the crying need for Southern Baptists going forward is to apply Biblical precepts to our lives and practice. They provide an answer to the following questions: Why do we need a reformation? Where have we come from? Where are we going in this process of reformation? How did the Founders Movement start? What problems has it faced? What challenges will I face in local church reformation and how do I avoid shipwreck? There is also a helpful appendix on the use of creeds, confessions and catechisms in our churches to address the question: What tools will I have to use as I seek reformation in my church?

 | | The Way of Faith Phil Newton How does a person become a Christian? How do you answer this question? Some say that a moral life makes one a Christian. Others declare that joining a church or being baptized makes a person a Christian. Still others call for a person to "make a decision" or "pray the prayer" or "ask Jesus into your heart". While opinions may be important, the one vital think when speaking of one becoming a Christian is what does God say in His Word. God has given His Word--the Bible--to reveal Himself, His purpose for man, and the way to know Him personally. Everything a person needs to know about becoming a Christian can be found in God's Word. As God gives a person understanding of the gospel (the good news of how God, in Christ, has provided salvation), then that person can come to genuine faith in Jesus Christ and, consequently, become a Christian. The Way of Faith can help you on the journey to understanding the Christian faith.

 | | The Baptist Catechism Set to Music 2 cd set Jim Scott Orrick Just last night while my 16 year old was wrestling with the ambiguities of John Locke, he began singing something under his breath.

My kids owe Jim Orrick a huge debt for the doctrine they have learned through his music.
