In this thorough and well-documented study of the sacrament of Holy
Baptism, G.R. Beasley-Murray presents a critical defense of the
doctrine of believers' baptism on the basis of the New Testament
evidences. The author--one of the leading New Testament scholars in
England--is himself a Baptist; but his discussion transcends
denominational lines. Beasley-Murray begins by discussing various
rites that precede Christian baptism historically, and analyzes the
relationship between these earlier rites and baptism. From these
antecedents--Old Testament ritual washings, Jewish proselyte
baptism, the lustrations practiced at Qumran, and the baptism of
John the Baptist--the author proceeds to the foundations of
Christian baptism in the career of Jesus, its emergence as recorded
in the Acts of the Apostles, and its development in the New
Testament epistolary literature. In his consideration of the
doctrine of Christian baptism as articulated in the New Testament,
Beasley-Murray focuses his attention on the necessity of baptism
and its relationship to grace, faith, the Spirit, the church,
ethics, and hope. A careful examination of the rise and
significance of infant baptism follows, and the study concludes
with a selected bibliography and several indices.
