Gain an understanding of baptism from four main traditional
perspectives. Of all the sacraments, the practice of baptism is
often the most disputed. Christians hold different views of its
exact significance, who should receive baptism and how old they
need to be, the practice of rebaptism, and baptism as a requirement
for church membership. In Understanding Four Views on Baptism, four
historic views on baptism are considered in depth: Baptist view:
baptism of the professing regenerate by immersion (presented by
Thomas J. Nettles) Reformed view: infant baptism of children of the
covenant (presented by Richard Pratt Jr.) Lutheran view: infant
baptism by sprinkling as a regenerative act (presented by Robert
Kolb) Church of Christ view: believers' baptism on the occasion of
regeneration by immersion (presented by John Castelein) Each view
is presented by its proponent, then critiqued and defended in
dialogue with the book's other contributors. Here is an ideal
setting in which you can consider the strengths and weaknesses of
each stance and arrive at your own informed conclusion. The
Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique of
scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
