Overview

In this volume, Bishop Stephen Mason Merrill presents a biblical, theological, linguistic, and historical account of the doctrine of baptism.

He also discusses the historical development of the controversy, the meaning of the word “baptize,” baptism in the New Testament, the imagery of being “buried” in baptism, and the meaning of “Spirit baptism.”
