In broad strokes, the document shows that “eternal vital union” among Old School Baptists is not a random oddity but a specific way of talking about how Christ and his people are related in eternity, and how that relation intersects with Adam, the fall, and time-bound regeneration. At its core, eternal vital union is the claim that the elect are not merely decreed or foreseen in Christ, but that they truly stand to him as children to a Head in an eternal, living relation before the world began. In Gilbert Beebe’s pieces, that union is pushed very far: the elect are an “eternal seed,...

Not surprisingly, the scriptures share many important doctrinal truths about Jesus and the principles of Christianity. It is for that reason that this book has been written.

Those truths will be shared as short two-or-three-page essays. They range from Jesus feeding five thousand men to Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding supper in Cana. They range from Jesus and John the Baptist warning the people to repent to ...

In the first four chapters of his letter to the Corinthian church, which was obviously not originally divided into four easy-to-read chapters, Paul talked about a division in the church that he had learned about from either Chloe or from a person in Chloe's household. Then in the next four chapters of this first volume of a commentary on the book of First Corinthians, he talked about fornication in the church, taking a brother or sister in the Lord to court, to marry or not to marry, and the Christian position on eating meats that had been offered to idols. But in looking at his ...

The book Conflicts Among the Tentacles of the Monster is a compact sociology-of-reform case study: it argues that the antebellum “benevolent empire” (Bible, tract, missions, temperance, abolition, education, etc.) projected a saintly public face while internally generating predictable power-struggles—because once a “cause” becomes an institution, it must fund itself, defend itself, and govern itself, and those needs incubate the same sins reformers claim to oppose. It maps the movement’s internal conflicts into recurring fault-lines. First is authority: church courts and local ...
