The Baptism for Disciples Alone

Dr. Fred Malone puts together a great resource for the Credo-Baptist looking to better understand why they believe what they do and how to discuss the differences between paedo and credo baptism.  The book is clearly a credo support book, however, Dr. Malone does a good job representing an unbiased description and explanation of the paedobaptist perspective throughout the book.  I was pleased to find the discussion cover a broad range of sub-topics in support of the administrations of baptism.  Covenant theology, hermeneutics and principles of worship (regulative vs. normative) are some of the areas in which the reader will find themselves immersed when listening to the debate being presented.  I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to everyone considering the debate of credo vs paedobaptism.

Under Construction

My plan is to offer my thoughts on the books that I have read and am reading.  This is more for my own benefit to reference back to books I’ve read and how they affected me.
