My book, The Mystery of Christ, is an attempt to learn from the past and advance it in the present. And so my book is intentionally grounded in the arguments that have been advanced by particular Baptists and others in the past. So I've been very influenced by um John Cameron and John Owen and Thomas Goodwin, not just the particular Baptists. So this is this is a very historically minded presentation. Okay, these are the arguments that have been used. These are the ones I think that are worthy of reusing or representing. But the book is not just a reprisation. It's not just a take this book off the shelf, dust it off, and hand it to someone. Um I think that at times our particular Baptist forefathers spoken correctly or unhelpfully and I don't follow everything that they said in their literature either. So it's not just a repistination of 17th century particular Baptist covenant theology though it is very much drinking from those uh streams and it is very much repeating many of their arguments.
