Today we are joined by the President of the International Reformed Baptist Seminary, Dr. Jim Renihan. Our good friend is back on the podcast to talk about his forthcoming book, an exposition on the Second London Confession, and why understanding the historical context in which the confession was written is so important. We also get into why we call ourselves “Reformed Baptists.” While you’re waiting for his new work to be released, be sure to grab his exposition of the First London Confession, For the Vindication of the Truth: Baptist Symbolics Volume 1.
