A STUDY OF THE BIBLICAL TEXTS ON BAPTISM
The water of baptism which God meant to unite us has become the water
that divides us. But the topic of baptism does not have to divide us-it can
be one of the Bible doctrines that submerges us in a common relationship
with our Lord Jesus.
Scripture is far from silent on the subject of baptism, yet history is strewn
with such a variety of perspectives that it becomes difficult to gain a clear
view of what the Bible itself actually has to say.
In thirteen chapters, Dr. Cottrell discusses twelve major texts on baptism
in the New Testament by examining the meaning of the original words, the
historical 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 3:21
A thorough and landmark study, this book should be in the library of
every serious Bible student.
