Анотація:
This enduring study of Christian baptism by Beasley-Murray presents a critical defense of the doctrine of believers' baptism on the basis of New Testament evidence. Murray discusses preceding rites such as Old Testament ritual washings, Jewish proselyte baptism, the lustrations practiced at Qumran, and John the Baptist's baptism--all in relation to baptism in the New Testament. He also presents a well-balanced examination of the rise and significance of infant baptism.
