Rethinking Baptism

Theology

“Fowler has long facilitated a healthy dialogue on the issue of believer's baptism between two historic disputants: churches of the Stone-Campbell (Restoration) Movement and his own Baptist heritage. His solid work in Baptist history and exegetical honesty has yielded a baptismal understanding more sacramental than the typical American Baptist presentation . . . Rethinking Baptism takes a growing rapprochement in the scholarly academy to the more important arena of pastors and local congregations.”
