Rooted and Grounded: A light modernisation of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith—sometimes known as the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith—is one of the essential confessions arising out of the Reformation. It has certainly not lost importance over it more than 330 year life, but the language has become antiquated in places, to the point where the meaning is unclear to modern readers.

Jeremy Walker has lightly modernised the language where necessary, deliberately avoiding any change in the meaning intended by the original authors. This book distils biblical truth into a brief but rich summary of divine grace. It informs our faith and forms our life, as churches and individuals, in accordance with the pattern God has revealed in the Bible. Once the truths condensed here grip the heart, we will not think, or feel, or act the same again.
