Tradition vs. Truth: Untangling the Doctrine of the Independent Fundamental Baptist is a bold, honest, and biblically grounded look into the teachings, culture, and traditions of the IFB movement. Drawing from personal experience, real-world observations, and years spent inside Independent Fundamental Baptist circles, Aaron Crawford examines where long-held traditions have overshadowed clear biblical truth.
This book is not written out of bitterness, but out of a desire for clarity and healing. With both compassion and conviction, Crawford exposes several doctrinal errors and harmful practices that have shaped countless lives within the IFB world. At the same time, he provides a much-needed teaching moment-guiding readers back to Scripture as the final authority, not denominational expectations or man-made rules.
Part testimony, part investigation, and part biblical study, Tradition vs. Truth helps readers distinguish between what God actually says and what many have merely been told. Whether you are recovering from IFB legalism, questioning what you've been taught, or simply seeking a clearer view of God's truth, this book offers insight, hope, and freedom.
