Books

There can be no better way to delve into what it means to be a Reformed Baptist than to read those who have ventured the way.

- Reformed Baptist Academic Press (RBAP) provide excellent theological literature on what it means to be a Reformed Baptist, the Particular Baptist tradition, the theological underpinnings of the confession, and other edifying content.
- The Wandering Bookseller is a stockist of RBAP titles here in Australia, and they provide free shipping. (Rad!)
- Solid Ground Christian Books (SGCB) is another Reformed Baptist Publisher. Of note, they stock a most excellent leather-bound version of the 1677/89 Confession along with the Baptist Catechism. Definitely worth getting!
