From the Letter to the Reader: It is an honor to present this complete translation of the article titled "Confessing the Faith in 1644 and 1689", written by Dr. James M. Renihan, and originally published on The Reformed Reader website at: www.reformedreader.org/ctf.htm With a well-informed and descriptive historiography, the author transports us to the historical moment in which the Particular Baptist movement emerged and the circumstances surrounding it. This article is both a complement and a small preview of the feast that awaits those who read books such as Edification and Beauty and The Faith and Life for Baptists, both written by the same author. Let this fascinating story begin! Translation Team April 8, 2020
