The Vindication of the Truth Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Jim Renihan. We don't need to say any more. Jim "The Man" Renihan. That means this is a great episode worth your time. But for those who do not know, Jim is a theologian, author, and serves as the President of IRBS Theological Seminary. His forthcoming book, For the Vindication of the Truth A Brief Exposition of the First London Baptist Confession of Faith, is an important and helpful book all our listeners will benefit from. Why did Dr. Renihan write a book on the First London Confession? How is it different from the Second London Confession? Can we expect an exposition of the 1689? This new book is not yet available, but we will let you know as soon as pre-orders are available.
