"The Baptist Faith and Message (BFM) has served as the most recognized statement of faith for Southern Baptists since 1925. The latest revision in 2000 serves as the doctrinal standard that identifies the general faith and practice of Southern Baptist churches. In this volume Daniel Scheiderer gives a helpful, positive commentary on the BFM by examining each article and giving a brief exposition of the supporting biblical texts. The result is a valuable tool that is suitable not only for personal reading but also for use in Sunday Schools or small group studies.
