Whether you believe as Cottrell does about baptism or not you can't help but to enjoy reading this book on the subject. The book is written in a style that any serious Bible student will enjoy and benefit from. Just the way that Cottrell explains salvation is worth reading the book for. This book will challenge any believer concerning their view on baptism and it's place in the Christian experience. I also must say that this book, unlike so many, does not defend the position so much as it explains it and that is refreshing. Read it whether you are in the Church of Christ or not. If not, and you read this book, you will respect what they believe even if you have an issue with this doctrine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Read on Baptism in the NT, December 12, 2001

This review is from: Baptism a Biblical Study (Paperback)

I obtained this book while studying various texts in the Bible on baptism. I had been doing intense study on the doctrine of water baptism in the NT and had become very weary with my evangelical upbringing on baptism (that baptism is a mere ceremony do maybe three or four times a year depending on the size of the church).

This book is written very gracefully. You will not be attacked if you do not hold to baptism being essential to the forgiveness of sins but you will be challanged. Cottrell is a very skilled man in both the Greek text as well as sound biblical interpretation. It is not his desire to paint a "I am right, you are wrong" attitude but rather he will challange you to reconsider what you have believed and maybe even taught concerning baptism.

Study this book! But most of all, base your faith on what the Bible teaches and not on the traditions of men (Mark 7:1-8).

Jack Cottrell tackles the subject of Baptism with an understanding that the reader will also be a seeker. Because of that, he approaches the subject with such enormous grace to keep the reader engaged all the way through. No one who reads this book will be disappointed, nor will they be offended by the way he handles the subject matter. I look forward to reading more of his books.
