The Second London Baptist Confession of Faith or 1689 is one of the most important doctrinal summaries in Baptist history. It shows clearly what Reformed Baptists have believed for centuries, covering major doctrines such as Scripture, God, salvation, the church, baptism, and the final judgment.
Originally written by seventeenth-century Particular Baptists, the confession reflects a deep commitment to Scripture and a desire to express Baptist convictions within the broader Reformed tradition and has long served as a guide for churches seeking doctrinal clarity and unity.
This modern English edition presents the confession in updated language while staying faithful to the original text and is intended to help pastors, church members, and students read and use the confession more easily. Whether for teaching, study, or reference, it provides a straightforward way to engage with a document that has shaped Baptist life for generations.
This 4th edition includes several updates that are outlined in the new publishers' preface.
104 pages.
“It is a good cause to make more accessible to our generation the great truths embodied in the 1689 Baptist Confession, and Stan has done good work in bringing them into the English of the 21st Century.” - Sam Waldron, Pastor Heritage Baptist Church
"B.H. Carroll, the founder and first President of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, rightly said, "A church with a little creed is a church with a little life. The more divine doctrines a church can agree on, the greater its power and the wider its usefulness. The fewer its articles of faith, the fewer its bonds of union and compactness." The Second London (1689) Baptist Confession of Faith is a robust, time-tested, faithful summary of key biblical teachings that Baptists have held dear. This modern English version is true to the original while making this excellent confession more accessible to to contemporary readers. I am grateful for its long, wide-spread usefulness and pray it will continue to be a useful tool for God's people for generations to come." - Tom Ascol, President of Founders Ministries; Pastor of Grace Baptist Church
