"BAPTISM"
For Your Futher Study
For a much more indepth study on the subject of "baptism," I recommend
the following books:
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) HANDBOOK ON BAPTISM (Edited by J. W. Shepherd, Gospel Advocate
Company, Nashville, Tennessee, 1972, 512 pages)
This work, first published in 1894, is a compilation of quotes
on the subject of baptism and related Scriptures by a broad
assortment of historians, scholars, commentators, and theo-
logians from virtually every major denomination.
3) 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."
