The Foundations Baptist Fellowship is pleased to announce the release of For the Faith, a new book by Dr. Larry Oats on the History of the Fundamentalist Fellowship, Conservative Baptist Fellowship, Fundamentalist Fellowship, and the Foundations Baptist Fellowship International
Fundamental Baptists, for one hundred years, have taken Jude’s declaration to heart: “Earnestly contend for the faith.” Fundamental Baptists from 1920 to 2020 sought to purify a movement. From being part of a liberal denomination, then part of a movement that became new evangelical, and finally to an independent fellowship, those in the various iterations of the FBFI were seeking to be nothing more and nothing less than obedient to the truth of God’s Word.
While other books touch on these subjects, For the Faith will increase your understanding of the progress of the fundamentalist Baptist movement from its own perspective. As the author says:
“This work seeks to shed light on this one-hundred-year Baptist battle for truth.”
From the Back Cover:
A novelist of the nineteenth century rightly stated, “Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.” Lack of understanding concerning the roots of fundamentalism has led many to a minimized appreciation of the giants on whose shoulders we stand theologically. Dr. Oats has done yeoman duty in pointing us to the past so that we might clearly identify the appropriate future priorities of the FBFI.
Dr. Bud Steadman, Executive Director, Baptist World Mission
For the Faith is a well-written and much-needed history of the Foundation Baptist Fellowship. The current generation needs to know the great price paid in preserving the ‘foundation’ of Baptist Fundamentalism for the pastors and churches of the twenty-first century. As one who has dedicated his life to teaching the Biblical and historical principles held by Baptists, there is no one more qualified to write this history than Dr. Larry Oats.
Marty Marriott, President, Maranatha Baptist University
We are thrilled that Larry has taken on the monumental task of writing the history of our movement. He has had access to historical materials that are not available anywhere else. Understanding our past is key to our present and future. We owe a great debt of gratitude to Larry for doing this work.
