Creeds and confessions perform an important function in the life of the Church. Confessions are historical boundary markers of orthodoxy and orthopraxy. Arminian confessionalism presents Baptists with a historical and theological alternative to both Calvinism and Traditionalism. This expanded second edition includes 5 additional confessions and introductions by Baptist historians William McGlothlin and David Montgomery, as well as Christian historian Phillip Schaff. Another 5 confessions have been added as an appendix. These confessions are of historical importance for the General Baptist tradition, but either contain problematic doctrinal statements or are Arminian but not theologically Baptist.

Postscript. that we do own a Magistratical power for the governing of this our English Nation, to be determined in a just Parlia-mentary way; and that we ought to pray for good Governors, and good Govern-ment; that we may live a peaceable and godly life in all honesty; standing ready at all times, as necessity may require, to vindi-cate such a Magistracy or Magistrates, not only with arguments of sound reason, but also with our Estates and Lives; that Righteousness may reigne, and Vice may be overthrown, without respect of persons. finis. 2. The Standard Confession of 1660 The standard Confession of the English General Baptists was drawn up in March, 1660, in the midst of the calumnies and persecutions of the Restoration.

It was formally presented to King Charles ii July 26, 1660, along with an address (Crosby, ii, igl; Taylor, I, 186f). It was at once published and was often reprinted. It was also "printed on a sheet to be hung up in a frame," and in this form adorned many homes. It was reaffirmed by the General Assembly, 1663, edited by Thos.

The truths that this confession promoted fell out of favor for much of the twentieth century, but in the last fifty years there has been a great recovery of gospel truth among Evangelicals and once again there are those deeply committed to the doctrines of this confession. The English language, however, has changed over time, and just as there are phrases in the Authorized Version (1611), also known as the King James Version, that are no longer as clear as they once were due to linguistic change, so it is the case with the 1689 Confession. For this reason, this new rendition of the confession by Dr. Reeves is indeed welcome. He has sought to render it readable by the typical twenty-first-century Christian reader, but with minimal change and without sacrificing any of the riches of the original text. I believe he has succeeded admirably in both of these aims. (From the Foreword by Michael A.G. Haykin)
