Baptists have often expressed their faith through confessions and covenants. Confessions generally summarize what particular groups of Baptists believe. Covenants, on the other hand, define how Baptists expect participants in the covenant to behave. Confessions relate to doctrine; covenants relate to conduct. While many studies have been done on the role of confessions in Baptist life, few sources are available for the study of covenants. Charles Deweese has provided an incisive analysis of the role and function of covenants in Baptist life - both in America and abroad, and has reproduced many of these covenants in his book. Baptist churches are discovering a renewed interest in the covenanting process. Deweese concludes Baptist Church Covenants with resources to help churches to write or reaffirm their own covenant of faith.
