The Promise of Baptism: An Introduction to Baptism in Scripture and the Reformed Tradition

If your asking that question, then this book is for you. This book breaks down all the questions you ever had about baptism and answers each question in detail and depth chapter by chapter, for a solid understanding of the "bath time" you may have thought it was as a kid, into a sound understanding of the who, what, why and how of baptism. Helped me out.

The Promise of Baptism is an easily read and understood comprehensive explanation of the Reformed perspective on baptism. It is a good read for a student of theology, or anyone wanting a better understanding of baptism.

I have yet to finish reading it, but so far it has been enlightening and enjoyable.

This book is very detailed, thorough yet concise. Just about any question you could have about baptism is answered somewhere throughout the book, As someone who used to be Baptist who is now in a denomination that baptizes infants, this has helped me a lot in explaining the way that Christians have understood baptism since pretty much the early church. If you are confused about the doctrine of infant baptism and such then I highly recommend this book. it is very helpful and the best book about infant baptism I've found thus far.

This is one of the best books on the theology of baptism I have read. I am currently studying theology, and it is difficult to find good books which look at the sacraments from a Reformed perspective.With short, easy-to-read chapters, this book deals with all the major questions surrounding baptism, both pastoral and theological. I recommend it to anyone looking for a strong Protestant understanding of the sacraments.

many many thanks for getting me this book - I look forward to reading it
