"BAPTISM"

For Your Futher Study

For a much more indepth study on the subject of "baptism," I recommend the following books (you can purchase the book online by clicking on the title):

1. Baptism In The New Testament (G. R. Beasley-Murray, Eerdmans Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1962, 442 pages)

   This is an excellent treatment of the subject from a scholarly point of view, by one of the foremost scholars among the Baptist denomination. He readily admits that his conclusions run counter to the views held by those in his own denomination.

2. Baptism And The Remission Of Sins (Edited by David W. Fletcher, College Press Publishing Co., Joplin, Missouri, 1990, 432 pages)

   This is a collection of articles surveying throughout church history the view that baptism is for the remission of sins. It also discusses controversies surrounding "re-baptism."
