Abstract: Who should be baptized?  Should a person who has not been baptized be allowed to become a member of a church?  What happens when a person is baptized?  There are a number of important questions about baptism that call for biblical and theological reflection on a more fundamental question -- what is baptism?  Perhaps no one in the twentieth century addressed that question more thoroughly than British New Testament scholar George Beasley-Murray.  While touching on a range of issues related to baptism, this book explores the influence that Beasley-Murray's work has had on the debate about the meaning of baptism, and shows why his work was referred to as "a bombshell in the baptistery."
