This tremendous collection of classic works on baptism presents the history, biblical testimony, and systematic treatment on this topic of perennial importance from eminent scholars and pastors on each side of the debate. What is the biblical mode of baptism: immersion, sprinkling, pouring, or dipping. Or do several find warrant in Scripture? Should Christians practice trine immersion, sprinkling, or pouring? Who are the proper subjects of baptism: only professing adults, or also believers’ children? What is the biblical origin of baptism, and can precursors be found in the Old Testament? What is the significance of baptism: is it a memorial, a sign and seal; does it regenerate? How does all this fit together into a coherent doctrine of baptism? All these questions and more are answered in this remarkable collection.

This large volume offers not only Alexander Carson’s work on baptism, but also a sketch of his life for a look into the thought and person of this classic Baptist scholar. This valuable work not only provides an extended presentation of the mode and subjects of baptism from the Baptist perspective, but also includes several exchanges between Carson and notable proponents of infant baptism in nineteenth-century Christianity.
