The Shaping of the Reformed Baptismal Rite in the Sixteenth Century - Paperback

by Hughes Oliphant Old (Author)

This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

This meticulously researched book recounts how the early sixteenth-century Reformers, steering a course between the old Latin rites on the one hand and the Anabaptist movement on the other, developed a baptismal service that they understood to be reformed according to Scripture. Hughes Oliphant Old's study shows the Reformed baptismal rite to be well thought out, pastorally sensitive, and theologically profound.
