A Bombshell In The Baptistery: An Examination Of The Influence Of George Beasley-Murray On The Baptismal Writings Of Select Southern Baptist And Baptist Union Of Great Britain Scholars
Who should be baptized? Should a person who has not been baptized be allowed to become a member of a church? What happens when a person is baptized? There are a number of important questions about baptism that call for biblical and theological reflection on a more fundamental questionwhat is baptism? Perhaps no one in the twentieth century addressed that question more thoroughly than British New Testament scholar George Beasley-Murray. While touching on a range of issues related to baptism, this book explores the influence that Beasley-Murrays work has had on the debate about the meaning of baptism, and shows why his work was referred to as a bombshell in the baptistery.
