1689 Baptist Confession of Faith

Depending on responses, I may open another thread in Suggestions. But:

Am I overlooking something or is there no resource currently available for Logos that contains the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith?

Logos has relatively few creedal statement resources. However, a number of good resources including Schaff are available as PBB's.63

In my Logos library I have:

Historic Creeds and Confessions, which has the following:

Historic Creeds
- The Apostles’ Creed
- The Nicene Creed
- The Symbol of Chalcedon
- The Athanasian Creed
Historic Confessions and Statements of Faith
- The Belgic Confession
- The Heidelberg Catechism
- The Canons of Dordt

"The Augsburg Confession", and

"The Book of Concord" (Both part of The Works of Luther)

and

The Westminster Confession of Faith with Shorter and Larger Catechisms

Oh, yeah, and the free "Gospel Coalition" statement of faith (which is well worth a read)

I also have Grudem's Systematic Theology in Logos, which has the following Confessions and Creeds in an Appendix:

- Apostles’ Creed
- Nicene Creed
- Chalcedonian Creed
- Athanasian Creed
- Thirty-nine Articles (Anglican)
- Westminster Confession
- New Hampshire Baptist Confession
- Baptist Faith and Message
- Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy

The best I have is a partial listing in L3, in the PPB resource, Shaff's "Creeds of Christendom".

This gives (amongst many others) the Westminster confession, and defines the 1689 as a series of "modifications" to the

Westminster confession.

One is left, however, wondering whether there were other modifications which Schaff did not bother to note. Plus, how can one read

a confession like this! A Logos updating of this resource which is not paper bound is needed, which repeats all the creeds in full.

Personally, I would love to see the 1689 Particular Baptist Confession as an independent resource,.... and indeed, the Savoy Declaration ... as well.

(Ideally, in some kind of three-way Synopsis with the Westminster Confession, like Aland's The Four Gospels)!

I would love to see a more complete collection of creeds and confessions ... including the smaller creeds of various evangelical churches, bodies and organisations, such as The Baptist Union; Assemblies of God; Elim; The Evangelical Alliance; UCCF; Campus Crusade; AIM; etc. etc. etc.

Quite a few books talk about it in the Roger Williams Library collection of Baptist History (wonderful resource). It is put out by Maranatha Baptist Bible College. One book, Bye Paths in Baptist History had quite a bit on it and may have the confession. I did not have time to read it all.

Chris,
I know this isn't exactly what you meant, but If you've still got Libronix 3 and a Personal Book Reader Key (likely) you can get the confession here for 3.0: http://www.stilltruth.com/blog/gephartr/london-baptist-confession-faith-1689 . Once Logos finalises the PBB format for Logos 4 and reintegrates that feature, someone will likely do an upgrade that will work in 4.0.

Hope that helps..at least partway.

Thanks, this is a great link ... one that I somehow failed to find myself. Excellent ... I've already got a good quotation from it for my sermon ... My "authority" for quoting from the 1689 confession is that my church's second minister was one of the original signatories .... Andrew Gifford. Sadly, this version of the confession omits the list of original signatories.

Whoops, my mistake. The list is there at the end.
