REFORMATION BOOKSHELF CD(Volume Twenty-eight)

Very rare and considered the CLASSICset in this field of study (due to the detailed and exhaustive research of Mr. Wall), we have published all four volumes -- including the last two which turned Wall's research into a stirring debate.

For the first two volumes we have used the 1889 (two volume) edition because they are far easier to read (as they contain modern style fonts); volume three is the 1711 edition and volume four the 1720 edition. This set provides English translation for a large amount of intriguing material on baptism from the early church that is otherwise unavailable to English-only readers. 1647 pages.

Jerry Smith says that these volumes are "calculated to utterly shatter the widespread unfounded contemporary mythology surrounding the meaning and usage of the original Greek words underlying our English word baptism. Dale’s original five volumes (bound in four)constitute the most massive, thorough, accurate, and authoritative study ever made of this word, examining all the known occurrences of baptizo. Absolutely a must reading on this controversial subject! Dale write in a clear and refreshingly irenic spirit... which will delight and inform scholar, student, and layman alike."Dale spent twenty years writing this study concerning the meaning and mode of baptism. He interacts with all the relevant literature on the subject up to his time, the first volume appearing in 1867 and the last in 1874. J.H. Thayer in his entry in his Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Zondervan, 1962), says of this study: "If I were to utter my first impression, I should break out in unfeigned admiration." Moreover, Thayer noted, concerningClassic Baptism, that "the theory that Baptizo expresses a definite act, ‘mode and nothing but mode,’ is shown to be pitiably helpless when applied to ‘all the Greek literature.’" Dale definitely has had the last word on this subject thus far in history.You can save yourself a lot of time and trouble regarding Baptism and its meaning by picking up these unrivalled volumes. The final volume (i.e. volume four) is actually two volumes bound into one.

BANNERMAN, DOUGLAS

A concise and Scriptural case for infant baptism.Written as alively dialoguebetween the author, as pastor, and William, a young lawyer with strong immersionist views, this is an entertaining and easy way to learn theology.

The author, a Baptist for many years, was commissioned by Baptists to prepare a book in defense of Baptist views of baptism. During re-examination of the subject for this publication, he adopted the Presbyterian position. This book chronicles his journey and explains the Scriptural reasons for his change. A warm, peaceful presentation, not intended to offend.

Defends the Apostolic practice of infant baptism and its covenantal meaning.

The original title page read: "Immersion Proved to Be Not a Scriptural Mode of Baptism But a Romish Invention; and Immersionists Shewn to Be Disregarding Divine Authority in Refusing Baptism to the Infant Children of Believers." Now, does a sub-title like that not grab your interest?

In seven parts: 1. The standing authority of the Old Testament; 2. The grace of the Abrahamic covenant; 3. The permanent sanction of the moral law; 4. The subjects and mode of Christian baptism; 5. An address to anabaptists; 6. An address to paedobaptists; 7. An address to the undetermined.Exceeds the usefulness of most other books on this topic in that it includes the additional insights regarding God’s covenant relationship with His people (and church) which have been known to be prevalent among the Covenanters. Over 300 pages and indexed.

Over 900 pages of extensive coverage of all the points listed below! The full title reads: "A Debate Between Rev. A. Campbell and Rev. N.L. Rice, on the Action, Subject, Design and Administrator of Christian Baptism; Also, on the Character of Spiritual Influence in Conversion and Sanctification, and on the Expediency and Tendency of Ecclesiastical Creeds, as Terms of Union and Communion." This detailed and lengthy debate was held in Lexington, KY., from the fifteenth of November to the second of December, 1843, a period of eighteen days.

Wagner was converted in a fundamental Baptist church and is well acquainted with the Baptist views of baptism. Here he has produced a peaceable plea to those who still hold the views he once embraced. In it he deals with the meaning, subjects and mode of baptism; tracing the steps by which he became convinced of the Apostolic/Reformation position. This is an easy to read introduction to this important topic.
