Baptist Church in Watertown, WI: What We Believe and Who We Are
We love Jesus Christ the Son of God, and we believe his word. Our church is Christian: we recite the early church creeds at the Lord’s Supper: we are evangelical in that we embrace the gospel recovered by the Reformation, and we cooperate with Christians who disagree with us about secondary issues but agree about the gospel: we are Baptist—to be a member of our church you must be baptized on profession of faith by immersion and agree with our doctrinal statement and church covenant. We have been in Watertown since 1854, and we pray that Jesus allows us to continue worshiping and proclaiming the gospel until his return.
Richard A. Muller, Prolegomena to Theology
An analysis of the Protestant Scholastic prolegomena in Reformed dogmatics. Muller traces the interaction between the medieval sources (Lombard, Thomas, Duns Scotus, Henry of Ghent, etc.), the first generation of Reformers (i.e. Luther, Bullinger, Zwingli, Calvin) and the scholastics Protestants (Ames, Turretin, Owen, Heidegger, etc.).
