  In this new edition of Gordon Kuhrt's well known and studied book on baptism, Kuhrt and his son Stephen have made vital new additions, including a narrative introduction that highlights the different approaches taken in regards to baptism, and offering a deeper examination of the various issues leading from this. The authors analyse the changing cultural context within Britain, and examine the way in which this influences responses to baptism. There present a detailed discussion of baptism of John the Baptist, Jesus and Baptism and Baptism in the Early Church. Kuhrt explores in depth the various controversial issues connected with baptism, such as the sacramental issues surrounding baptismal 'efficacy', the case for infant or family baptism, consideration for the 'Baptist' view, the case for 'discrimination in Baptism, consideration of the issue of 'Rebaptism', consideration of 'Baptism its Completion'; and the practical ways in which Baptism should be taught and lived in the local church.
