Baptism

A STUDY OF THE BIBLICAL TEXTS ON BAPTISMThe water of baptism which God meant to unite us has become the waterthat divides us. But the topic of baptism does not have to divide us-it canbe one of the Bible doctrines that submerges us in a common relationshipwith our Lord Jesus.Scripture is far from silent on the subject of baptism, yet history is strewnwith such a variety of perspectives that it becomes difficult to gain a clearview of what the Bible itself actually has to say.In thirteen chapters, Dr. Cottrell discusses twelve major texts on baptismin the New Testament by examining the meaning of the original words, thehistorical background, and the comparative references.The texts covered: - Matthew 28:18-20- Mark 16:15-16- John 3:3-5- Acts 2:38-39- Acts 22:16- Romans 6:3-4- 1 Corinthians 12:13- Galatians 3:26-27- Ephesians 5:25-27- Colossians 2:11-13- Titus 3:5- 1 Peter 3:21A thorough and landmark study, this book should be in the library ofevery serious Bible student.
