Synopsis

Exploring baptism through a plain and scriptural lens that favors sparing no one from a fuller view of its meaning and practice.

This edition presents Daniel Baker’s controversial yet thoughtful argument that baptism is not limited to one mode. It examines how pouring and sprinkling can express spiritual truths alongside immersion, and it discusses the role of infant baptism and the covenant with families. The book invites readers to weigh how baptism relates to faith, church fellowship, and daily life.

• Learn how the argument distinguishes water baptism from the broader “baptism” of the Spirit.
• See why the author questions a single, rigid mode and why parental responsibility matters.
• Explore how scripture and tradition are used to support a wider practice than immersion alone.
• Consider the implications for church life, unity, and interdenominational relationships.

Ideal for readers of church history, baptism debates, and those seeking a thoughtful, historical perspective on how this rite has been understood and practiced.
