Upon This Rock: A Baptist Understanding of the Church
A recent conference at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary featured speakers addressing topics set forth in the article on €œThe Church€ in the Southern Baptist Convention€s Baptist Faith and Message statement. Upon This Rock gathers those presentations and answers such questions as:
€ What is the basis for our denominational distinctives? € Are they merely a collection of €œfaded traditions€ or true doctrinal necessities rooted in the Bible alone? € Are they theologically rich cornerstones of faith that easily transcend time, culture, and preference?
Contributors include Malcolm B Yarnell III (€œUpon This Rock I Will Build My Church: A Theological Exposition of Matthew 16:13-20€Â), Paige Patterson (€œObserving the Two Ordinances of Christ€Â), Thomas and Joy White (€œChurch Officers and Gender: Can Women Be Pastors? Or Deacons?€Â) and Bart Barber (€œA Denomination of Churches: Biblical and Useful€Â) as well as Jason G. Duesing, David Allen, Emir F. Caner, James Leo Garrett, Jr., and Byron McWilliams.
