Including a Foreword by The Rt Revd Dr Graham Tomlin, this volume
examines the theology and practice of baptism. It contains a
narrative introduction that highlights the different approaches
taken to baptism, and the various issues that come with them. The
volume also covers how the changing cultural context within Britain
has influenced responses to baptism. At the heart of the book is a
detailed examination of the theme of covenant running through the
Bible and how this shapes its understanding of baptism. Gordon
Kuhrt and his son Stephen explore several controversial issues
associated with baptism. Believing in Baptism contains an in-depth
discussion of the sacramental issues surrounding baptismal
'efficacy', for instance, as well as infant or family baptism. The
authors also examine the 'Baptist' view, discrimination in Baptism
and the issue of 'Rebaptism'. Finally, they consider the issue of
'Baptism and its Completion?', and make practical recommendations
on the ways in which baptism should be taught and lived in the
local church.

Tom Wright for Everyone addresses the reticence of many
evangelicals to engage with what Tom Wright has been saying for
some time. The book looks at key theological questions awaiting an
answer and gives an enlightening summary of the theology of Tom
Wright, arranged around terms like 'Covenant', 'Heaven', 'Kingdom',
'The resurrection of Jesus', and 'justification'. Then, in perhaps
the most valuable part of the book, Stephen Kuhrt describes in
detail the difference putting Tom Wright's theology into practice
has made in his own parish church, pastorally and in terms of
mission. The book ends with a clear statement of Tom Wright's
challenge to the Church in the second decade of the twenty-first
century.
