Stand With Christ: Why Missionaries Can’t Sign Baptist Faith and Message 2000 is now available from Smyth & Helwys publishers.

Stand With Christ explores and explains the history, problems and biblical judgment of the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message revision and its uses as a force of control, internal purification, and conformity.

In his foreword, noted Baptist historian Walter B. Shurden has this to say:

“This is a book by Baptists. Most Baptists, especially Baptists of the South, will readily
recognize the writers — Russell Dilday, Keith Parks, James Dunn, Catherine Allen, Charles
Wade, David Currie, Charles Deweese, John Pierce, Kenneth Massey, Walter Shurden, Bruce
Prescott, Earl Martin, and editor Robert O’Brien.

“Marinated in the Baptist tradition of a free and responsible conscience, each of these writers
carries a sterling Baptist portfolio. They deserve to be heard. They should be heeded.

“This is also a book about Baptists. Specifically, it is a book about the Southern Baptist
Convention and its deliberate, but unbaptistic, move toward creedalism.”[His full foreword may be read online at www.helwys.org]
