Description

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.
