Timmy,

Deweese’s book is available in toto in The Baptist Standard Bearer’s cd-rom, Baptist History Collection. I’m actually printing it off as we speak (200+ page pdf) and was looking for a picture of the cover when I found this post.

Here’s the link: http://www.standardbearer.org/shop/Detail.aspx?ID=566

Here’s a brief review on my site with a contents list: http://www.walkingtogetherministries.org/FullView/tabid/64/ArticleID/8/CBModuleId/401/Default.aspx

Justin,

Indeed, I enjoyed to hear the great things going on at Southside. I was really encouraged and edified by our conversation. I look forward to discussing WordPress and other stuff tomorrow.

D.L.,

I have been following the discussion and have printed off the document for further examination. At this point, I have not had the time to take a thorough look at it. Initially, I was surprised to see only one Southern Baptist (Timothy George) as having signed on in endorsement of the document (expecting names like Dockery and maybe Mohler who are keenly aware of evangelical discussion to embrace it).

I have bookmarked both Dr. Mohler’s response as well as Denny Burk’s. I also think that MacArthur has responded, but I have not checked that yet.

There are many well-respected men who I appreciate on both sides of this manifesto, so given that to be the case, I will be all the more diligent and cautious to see just why, where, and how they differ and disagree on the matter.

Perhaps this could be addressed sometime soon, but currently the plate is full as I am loading up with over a dozen posts in the draft mode! But we’ll see . . .

Timmy – Sorry to be off topic. Just read Albert Mohlers posts on the “Evangelical Manifesto” and was wondering if you were going to post on this topic? I thought I recalled an earlier post by you on this topic, but can’t seem to pull it up.

Blessings.

Timmy,

I’m glad that you are planning on providing some historical examples in the weeks to come. I am afraid that most churches simply do a cut and paste for their own church covenant which indicates the value they place on it.

Joey has begun to teach our church covenant every first and third sunday evening and it has been a great study. Our plan is to conclude the study in August with a covenant renewal Sunday and i for one am looking forward to this. I guess that puts us in the short list.

By the way, I had a great time at lunch today and i look forward to talking with you more tomorow.

Justin
