A String of Pearls Unstrung: A Theological Journey into Believers’ Baptism
Overview
“The greatest struggle in my theology has not been, oddly enough, the five points of Calvinism and the Reformed faith. I find these clear and well-defined from Genesis to Revelation. Rather, the thorn in my theological flesh has been baptism,” notes author Fred Malone. In this booklet, he presents a convincing case for believer’s baptism that draws from his own personal theological struggles. This work was later expanded into The Baptism of Disciples Alone.
