The Baptist Confession of Faith and Baptist Catechism, is a beautifully produced hardcover, leather-bound edition designed for both personal study and church use. Combining the historic Second London Confession (1677/1689) with the classic Baptist Catechism (1695), this volume provides Scripture references in line with the original, making it an ideal resource for Reformed Baptist Churches. Crafted in Great Britain with sewn binding, quality paper, and a gold ribbon, it serves as both a practical study tool and a lasting heirloom for those who treasure the truths of the Reformed, Puritan, Confessional theology of the 17th Century Particular Baptists.
In modern times, we have grown used to the timeless truths of God’s Word being printed with flimsy papers and corner-cutting techniques. Books containing the great mysteries of the Gospel often fail to surpass a single use before falling apart. In this new edition of The Baptist Confession of Faith and The Baptism Catechism, we bind these classic texts in materials that will pass the test of time. Every element has been designed with reverence for the theological heritage it represents. Printed in Great Britain – where the Confession and Catechism were first framed – this edition bears witness to a deep reverence for doctrinal truth, expressed through the craft of fine bookmaking.
The legacy of this Confession and Catechism is one of enduring value. With this publication, Broken Wharfe continues the work begun by Solid Ground Christian Books, an edition that has been widely-appreciated by Reformed Baptist churches across the globe. While the text remains theologically consistent with previous editions, careful attention has been given to updating any prior errors, alongside the design, presentation, readability, and long-term usability of both documents.
This edition benefits from the thoughtful contributions of two highly respected scholars.
Dr James Renihan has provided forewords to both the Confession and Catechism. His insights situate these documents within their historic context while highlighting their continued relevance for the modern church.
Dr Robert Oliver contributes a compelling preface, commenting on the need for such a republication and underscoring the enduring importance of these works to local churches today.
More than a collector’s edition, this volume is designed for practical use in both corporate and private study. The elegant typesetting and considered layout make it suitable for regular reference, teaching, and study. It is our prayer that this edition of The Baptist Confession of Faith and The Baptist Catechism will continue to equip Baptist churches worldwide to stand firmly on the great doctrines of Holy Scripture.
Bound in Wintan® Safia leather, available in five rich colours, ensuring durability and beauty.
Printed on Swedish-milled Munken Pure paper, chosen for its archival quality and gentle cream tone that enhances readability.
Section-sewn interior on boards with printed endpapers, designed for longevity and daily use.
Complete with gold ribbon marker, head and tail bands, and a design aesthetic inspired by the earliest editions of the Confession.
“We are pleased to recommend a British production of this excellent edition of the Second London Baptist Confession, alongside the Baptist Catechism. Originally released in the USA by Solid Ground Publishers, this new edition is now redesigned and published by Broken Wharfe in the UK, returning it to its original roots. Not only is it handy to have the two documents in one volume, but this edition also unites the two streams of the recovery of Reformed doctrine that emerged in the twentieth century on either side of the Atlantic.”
Dr Robert Oliver
The Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, also known as the 1689 Baptist Confession, is a historic statement of faith rooted in the Reformed and Puritan tradition. It set out the core doctrines held by the Particular Baptist churches in 17th Century England and has since been widely-adopted as a brilliant summary of what Reformed Baptist churches believe. It was first produced in 1677, and formally adopted by signatories in 1689. Today it remains a vital resource for individuals and churches discerning the truths of the Bible and God’s plan for the church.
The Baptist Catechism (pub. 1695), sometimes called Keach’s Catechism, is a concise teaching tool created to help Christians, especially children and new believers, understand the key doctrines of The Baptist Confession of Faith. Structured in a clear question-and-answer format, it covers the foundations of the Christian faith — from God’s nature and works to salvation, the church, and the Christian life — all supported by Scripture references. For over three centuries, it has been used in Reformed Baptist churches for instruction, discipleship, and family worship, making it a trusted resource for teaching biblical truth.
Studying these documents provides believers with a clear and faithful summary of the Bible’s teaching. Though old, these resources remain highly relevant because they ground Christians in the truths of the Word of God, provide a framework for personal devotion and church instruction, and preserve the rich heritage of the Confessional Reformed Baptist tradition. Together, they offer timeless guidance and eternal truth, passing on the faith from one generation to the next, until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
