BFM development and analysis (15%)
First, students will analyze the versions of the Baptist Faith & Message since its first adoption (1925), noting important differences and changes in its iterations. This should be provided as a comparison chart of about 1 page. Then include an analysis on the reason or significance of the changes of about ½ to 1 page. Second, students will choose a confession from a group other than SBC since the Reformation and compare/contrast it with the BFM2000. This should be provided as a comparison chart of about 1 page. Then include an analysis on the reason or significance of the changes of about ½ to 1 page.
Instructors may assign different confessions to be compared to reduce overlap.
Confessions and BFM are available online.
