40 Questions About Baptism and the Lord's Supper, appropriate for
the student and thoughtful layperson, answers forty of the most
common and most difficult questions about the two Protestant
ordinances. There is significant diversity of views on these
subjects and the skilled, even-handed biblical analysis sheds
lights on the many theological and pastoral considerations
regarding baptism and communion. Baptism and the Lord's Supper are
practiced by almost all Christian churches, but they disagree on
the meaning, proper participants, even the proper names for these
observances. This book includes the major theological issues (such
as infant baptism, open and closed communion, and the nature of
God's activity in these celebrations), the views held by different
denominations (from Roman Catholic to Lutheran, Reformed, Baptist,
and others), and a number of practical issues (such as the proper
age at which to baptize a child, the frequency with which the
Lord's Supper should be observed, and whether these two practices
should be observed only in churches). This volume will be helpful
to pastors, worship leaders, college and seminary students, and of
interest to all Christians who want to grow in their understanding
of these two basic Christian acts of worship. Each chapter is
succinct and readable, with footnotes indicating additional sources
for those who wish to go further.
Southern Baptists are the nation's largest protestant denomination,
with over 43,000 churches and millions of members. Since its
inception, controversy has surrounded the Baptist Faith and Message
2000, Southern Baptists' most recent confession of faith. The
present volume consists of essays by Baptist scholars explaining
and defending that document. Each of the 18 articles of the
BF&M 2000 is addressed, with special attention to the most
critical issues and changes from the denomination's 1963
confession. Also included is an appendix comprising the full text
of all three Baptist Faith and Message statements from the 20th
century (1925, 1963, and 2000), in side-by-side columns for easy
reference and comparison. Contributors include Al Mohler, Paige
Patterson, Tom Nettles, Dorothy Patterson, E. David Cook, and C.
Ben Mitchell, with a foreword by Susie Hawkins. Brief yet
comprehensive, detailed yet accessible to the non-specialist, this
volume is a must read for Southern Baptist professors and students,
staff and church members, and anyone interested in one of the most
powerful religious forces in America.
