Meet Stuart Brogden
Stuart Brogden is a devout Particular Baptist author and theologian whose writing reflects a deep commitment to Scripture and faith. He believes that Christ died for His sheep and not the goats, and that baptism is for those who profess faith in Christ a public testimony of their belief and redemption.
With a thoughtful, scholarly approach, Stuart has written nine books and contributed to three more, all centered around biblical truth, Christian doctrine, and the pursuit of faithfulness to the Word of God.
The Inspiration Behind Tradition! When Men Make Rules
Stuart’s latest work, Tradition! When Men Make Rules, was born out of his concern for the growing influence of man-made traditions in modern Christianity.
“This book has been on my mind for quite some time,” Stuart shares. “My interactions with fellow Christians who promote doctrines not found in Scripture inspired me to address the issue directly.”
The book examines how human traditions can overshadow the authority of Scripture and offers a call to return to biblical truth as the ultimate standard of faith and practice.
Writing Habits That Shape His Process
Every writer has a rhythm that fuels creativity, and Stuart’s process combines focus with familiarity.
“I like to write with a movie playing quietly in the background,” he says.
That background noise helps him think deeply and stay relaxed as he organizes complex theological ideas into accessible writing for readers.
Authors Who Have Influenced His Work
Stuart draws wisdom and inspiration from a number of respected Christian theologians and authors. Among them are:
- Charles Leiter – The Law of Christ
- Hal Brunson – Who Is Israel? What Is a Jew? Where Is Jerusalem?
- Jason Meyer – The End of the Law: Mosaic Covenant in Pauline Theology
- Terrance O’Hare – The Sabbath Complete
Each of these works has contributed to his theological perspective and helped shape the foundation of his own writing.
What He’s Working on Now
Stuart is currently researching and writing a new book titled “People of the Book,” which explores the rich history of the Baptist tradition.
“This project aims to remind readers of the heritage of faith and Scripture that has defined Baptists through the centuries,” he explains.
Promoting His Work
When it comes to sharing his books, Stuart prefers authenticity and community-driven promotion.
“I post my books and edited works on my personal blog,” he says. “I also share them on LinkedIn, Facebook, and through the Sovereign Grace Baptist Fellowship newsletter.”
His approach focuses on building genuine connections with readers and fellow believers who share his passion for biblical truth.
Advice for Aspiring Authors
For those who feel called to write, Stuart offers clear and practical advice:
“Identify where your passion lies and make an outline of how you would address that topic in a book,” he advises.
He believes that clarity of purpose and structure is the foundation of meaningful writing especially when tackling complex or spiritual subjects.
The Best Advice He Has Ever Heard
One simple phrase has guided Stuart throughout his writing and teaching journey:
“Write what you believe.”
For him, writing is not just a creative act but a testimony of faith. His work is driven by conviction, not convenience, and he encourages others to write from that same place of authenticity.
What He’s Reading Now
Stuart continues to deepen his understanding of theology through rigorous study. His current reading list includes:
- Papal Power by Henry Hudson
- Baptism in the Early Church by Everett Ferguson
Both works explore church history and doctrine, topics that align closely with his own interests as a Christian writer and teacher.
What’s Next for Stuart Brogden
In addition to completing his new book, Stuart will soon be speaking in Lake Charles, Louisiana, where he plans to share insights from his writings and offer copies of his books at cost.
His ongoing mission remains the same: to equip believers with biblical truth and encourage faith rooted in Scripture rather than human tradition.
Books He Would Take to a Desert Island
If he were stranded on a desert island, Stuart would take with him a carefully chosen collection of books that reflect his love for theology, history, and faith:
- The Bible – HCSB Translation
- Triumph of the Lamb by Dennis Johnson
- The Torch of the Testimony by John W. Kennedy
- The Doctrines of Grace: Rediscovering the Evangelical Gospel by James Montgomery Boice and Philip Graham Ryken
These works, together with Scripture, would provide both spiritual nourishment and theological reflection.
