About the Author

James M. Renihan served as the president of the Institute of Reformed Baptist Studies (IRBS), a graduate school of theology in Escondido, California. A historian and theologian, he has devoted much of his scholarly work to the recovery of seventeenth-century Particular Baptist thought, including the covenant theology of Nehemiah Coxe and the confessional standards of early Baptist associational life. His multi-volume Confessing the Faith offers a detailed exposition of the Second London Baptist Confession, and his other writings have helped reestablish serious engagement with the 1677/1689 Confession in contemporary Baptist churches.
