In recent years, the term Reformed Baptist has gained increasing prominence in Christian circles, yet its usage has also sparked confusion. What exactly does it mean to be a Reformed Baptist? Are Reformed Baptists a niche group, or do they stand within the larger historic Reformed tradition? In this much-anticipated volume, Tom Hicks offers a clear, gracious, and biblically grounded answer.
This work is not a polemical defense, nor is it an insider’s manual bristling with theological jargon. Rather, it is a pastoral, positive articulation of what it means to be a confessional Reformed Baptist—one rooted in the historic Second London Baptist Confession of 1689. With depth and clarity, Dr. Hicks traces the theological and historical lineage of Reformed Baptists, arguing persuasively that they are not a peculiar sect but a faithful expression of biblical Christianity within the Reformed tradition
