The book begins with a historical narrative of Balthasar Hubmaier; the great Anabaptist writer and martyr. His dying for the faith is proof that it is important what we believe. His beliefs coincide with what the contents of this book reveal about Baptist. The quotes below are from my introduction and conclusion and reveal my purpose for writing the book. The book is a call not to forsake Baptist beliefs but to emphasize them more so there will be a Revival of interest in proclaiming these truths that are constant among Baptists since the time of Hubmaier's martyrdom.These excerpts indicate why these truths need to be emphasized and not diminished:We need to know how we have gotten to this place in the history of Christianity, as Baptists. What sacrifices have been made by Baptists that have shaped our distinct identity today. It is my concern that many of these cherished teachings may be forgotten, in a rush to not turn off people by teaching doctrines for whom many have fought and even died. I believe it will cost us bigtime, if we lose our identity and forget from where we have come. I am not for preservation, however; as much as I am for fresh truth that will invigorate and give new life to churches, where there is staleness and where churches have plateaued or are dying. When we know our beliefs and proclaim them boldly, God can use these truths to bring revival to churches in a way we have not seen possible before. We will see revival become reality, if we will study and proclaim the truths that have made us great. The real objective of this work is to help those who have taken Baptist beliefs so lightly and loosely. In doing so, I want them to know we not only have a biblical faith, but that we are very clear on why that faith is biblical. The next generation of pastors, church leaders, and churches will be faced with serious doctrinal questions and challenges. Since we live in a pragmatic culture, the pressure is on us to use whatever works in church. We need to be all things to all people that we might save some (I Corinthians 9:22); but also we need to stand for something, so we affirm not only do we believe truth, but are transformed by it. We should be moved by our convictions and want future generations to see these truths have made us what we are.
