Biography[edit]

Theological views[edit]
Exposition of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith[edit]
Much is owned to Waldron in our modern understanding of the 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith. His seminal work, "A Modern Exposition of the 1989 Confession of Faith" is seen as a standard text for understanding the confessional document of reformed baptist churches[5]. Moreover, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary professor and Gospel Coalition editor Jeff Robinson credits Waldron with majority of the principles he teaches readers and students concerning the value of the confession in the lives of their churches.[6]
Amillennialism[edit]
Waldron is an ardent proponent of an amilliennialist understanding of second coming of Christ also referred to as the end times. While not novel theologically, he effectively challenges the views of the like of John MacArthur through a thoroughly applicable approach to interpreting important biblical passages.
