Synopsis

Understanding baptism and regeneration from an Episcopal perspective.

This book explains how the Protestant Episcopal Church views baptism, regeneration, and the role of the Holy Spirit. It contrasts baptismal faith with other views, and situates these rites within the broader story of Christian salvation.

The text traces how early Christian practice and Protestant thought shape a distinctive stance on baptism, infant membership, and the lifelong transformation expected of believers. It presents clear definitions, scriptural references, and the practical questions churches face when teaching and practicing this sacred ordinance.

  • how baptism relates to spiritual regeneration and forgiveness
  • the difference between inward change and outward rites
  • the place of infant baptism and household baptisms in church practice
  • the reasons for carefully distinguishing grace, faith, and works in salvation

Ideal for readers of church history, theology, and Episcopalian study who want a grounded, scripturally informed view of baptism and its effects.
