                              "BAPTISM"

                        For Your Futher Study

For a much more indepth study on the subject of "baptism," I recommend
the following books:

1) BAPTISM IN THE NEW TESTAMENT (G. R. Beasley-Murray, Eerdmans
   Publishing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1962, 442 pages)

   This is an excellent treatment of the subject from a scholarly
   point of view, by one of the foremost scholars among the Baptist
   denomination.  He readily admits that his conclusions run counter
   to the views held by those in his own denomination.

2) HANDBOOK ON BAPTISM (Edited by J. W. Shepherd, Gospel Advocate
   Company, Nashville, Tennessee, 1972, 512 pages)

   This work, first published in 1894, is a compilation of quotes
   on the subject of baptism and related Scriptures by a broad
   assortment of historians, scholars, commentators, and theo-
   logians from virtually every major denomination.

3) BAPTISM AND THE REMISSION OF SINS (Edited by David W. Fletcher,
   College Press Publishing Co., Joplin, Missouri, 1990, 432 pages)

   This is a collection of articles surveying throughout church
   history the view that baptism is for the remission of sins. It
   also discusses controversies surrounding "re-baptism."

These three books can be ordered from:
