Edgar Young Mullins (1860-1928) who served as a pastor and as president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, explains core Baptist doctrine in as simple terms as possible so that anyone can understand them.  This classic work on Baptist beliefs lays out the important teachings without getting into a deep theological discussion.

Mullins does not set out to create a formal creed for Baptists, since there are already several in existence. He sets out rather to create a manual for “common use” by the teacher and student of the distinctive beliefs of Baptists. If you want to learn what makes a Baptist different this book is an excellent place to start.

This is an ideal book for anyone who wants and understanding traditional Baptist beliefs.
