description: The water of baptism which God meant to unite us has become the water that divides us. The topic of baptism does not have to divide us – it can be one of the Bible doctrines that submerge us in a common relationship with our Lord Jesus. Scripture is far from silent on the subject of baptism, yet history is strewn with such a variety of perspectives that it becomes difficult to gain a clear view of what the Bible itself actually has to say. In thirteen chapters, Dr. Cottrell discusses the twelve major texts in the New Testament and does so by examining the meaning of the original words, the historical background, and the comparative references. A thorough and landmark study, this book should be in the library of every serious Bible student. The texts Jack Cottrell was Professor of Theology at Cincinnati Christian University. He received his BA, ThB, Cincinnati Bible College &amp; Seminary; BA, University of Cincinnati; MDiv, Westminster Theological Seminary; PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary.
