Reviews
Theology Today "I highly recommend the Brownson book for use in local churches by pastors, church boards, and adult education teachers. " John Burgess -- Pittsburgh Theological Seminary "James Brownson has written a book that is theologically solid and accessible to a broad church audience. Demonstrating a thorough familiarity with the Scriptures and the Reformed tradition, he tackles the knotty questions that arise in many Protestant congregations today: Is baptism necessary for salvation? Who was eligible for baptism in the early church? Why do different denominations view baptism in different ways? If you have ever wondered whether or why babies should be baptized, Brownson will help you rediscover the power of God's covenant promises."
