What Cumberland Presbyterians Believe ~
Book ~ by Ewell Kerr Reagin (1900-1985), former president of Bethel College, former dean of the Memphis Theological Seminary, moderator of the 1936 General Assembly, and long-time writer of Encounter. Published by the Heritage Committee of Cumberland Presbytery. Proceeds benefit the Historical Foundation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in America. Trade Paperback, 98 pages.
In the early-1990s, E. K. Reagin's classic work, What Cumberland Presbyterians Believe went out-of-print after the last copies from the 1983 fifth revised printing were sold. Because the book was based on the 1883 Confession of Faith, which had been replaced in 1984, the decision was made not to reprint. The nostalgia and esteem with which What Cumberland Presbyterians Believe was regarded was not anticipated.
First published in 1936 in a private edition and then reprinted by the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination in 1939, this book provided the basis of belief for many Cumberland Presbyterians. In 1968, the revised edition was first published.
The Heritage Committee of Cumberland Presbytery has an interest in reprinting some of the classic Cumberland Presbyterian books that have slipped out-of-print. This is the second of their reprint series (the first was The Life and Times of Finis Ewing).
This book is based on the Confession of Faith adopted in 1883. The references to the sections in this book is based on the section numbers in the 1883 Confession.
With the adoption of a new Confession of Faith in 1984, the organization changed as did the style of language of the document. For the most part, however, the doctrinal positions of the Confession remained basically the same.
