This post comes to you from 20,000 feet above the earth. I’m currently on a flight from Detroit to Denver and thought I’d write up some of my thoughts after reading the book Baptism: Three Views over the weekend. This book argues the two most prominent theories of baptism, credo- and paedobaptist, as well as a third option, the dual-practice view. This book shines not only in content, but even more so in structure. Each perspective is given a lengthy portion to present their case, followed by a response from the other two perspectives, with an concluding comment granted to the presenter. This pattern is repeated three times, once for each view. The next few posts will not be a book review of this book, but rather a series on baptism. I only the mention the book because I have found it an extremely helpful resource and would recommend it for further study in this area. I am excited for this study because I have been pondering this question for quite some time and am hoping to come out of the other end with some clarity on the issue.
