Reformed Baptist Seminary is offering a three-credit course on symbolics entitled "Creeds & Confessions." Michael Haykin (PhD) and Tom Nettles (PhD) will lecture on the history of creeds and confessions with a special focus on the origins, composition, and legacy of the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. Bob Gonzales (PhD) will address the biblical basis for creeds and provide an exposition of the Confession's doctrine of Scripture. Pascal Denault (ThM) will lecture on the covenant theology of the Confession. Finally, Tom Ascol (PhD) will expound the Confession's chapters on the gospel and on the church as well as discuss some pastoral issues related to the use of confessions and catechisms in the church's life and ministry. 

Although Ulrich Zwingli stands under the shadow of Martin Luther and John Calvin in terms of prominence in the Protestant Reformation, he nevertheless deserves a place alongside these giants. His contributions to the doctrine of Scripture, providence, the Law of God, church and state, and the sacraments are notable. In the the six video lectures below, Pastor Mark Sarver, a professor of historical theology for Reformed Baptist Seminary, provides a survey of Zwingli's theology and underscores its relevance for today.

In 1987 at age 10 my great grandma died and her funeral devastated me. I remember going home and balling my eyes out, getting on my knees before the Lord and making a profession of faith. At that time I still didn’t know what that meant or even looked like. Yet my loving mother still dragged me to church with her most Sundays up until High School. I entered college as a “non-professing Christian”.
