Book Description

October 1, 1991

Written in a clear, contemporary style using inclusive language, Dr. Maring’s unique approach combines fresh insights into the New Testament concept of the church with thoughtful interpretations of Baptist history and tradition.


Maring explores hallmarks of Baptist identity, biblical roots of Baptist doctrine, qualifications and responsibilities of church membership, and fresh perspectives on baptism and the theology of the Lord’s Supper.


This new edition blends principles of its highly regarded predecessor with dynamic ideas for ministry in the twenty-first century.

3.0 out of 5 stars both historical and practical approach, November 27, 2004
This review is from: A Baptist Manual of Polity and Practice (Paperback)
Provides good overview on the historical and theological development of Baptist churches in the first 3 chapters and the eigth chapter (which specifically deals with Baptism and Communion). Chapters 4-7 describe the traditional views of Baptist organization. These chapters may be very useful for newly established congregations. For congregational leaders of older churches looking for new ways to organize ministry, these chapters are helpful for an understanding of past processes. The last 3 chapters describe how congregations may fit into larger structures of the church on earth.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Baptist Manual of Polity and Practice, February 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Baptist Manual of Polity and Practice (Paperback)
This books covers most things Baptist. It has a great deal of historical information. My only disappointment is that it seems to be somewhat dated. However, knowing where we have come from is essential if we want to understand where we are going.
