Troubled Waters Summary

Troubled Waters: Rethinking the Theology of Baptism by Ben Witherington III

Baptism has been a contested practice from the very beginning of the church. In this volume, Ben Witherington rethinks the theology of baptism and does so in constant conversation with the classic theological positions and central New Testament texts. By placing baptism in the context of the covenant, Witherington shows how advocates of both believer's baptism and infant baptism have added some water to both their theology and practice of baptism.

...careful, meticulous, and very well reasoned... -- Jeff Borden -- iCrucified
