Baptism in the Reformed Tradition by John W Riggs

This premier work considers the development of the doctrine of baptism in the Reformed tradition. Riggs studies the major early Reformers, concentrating on Calvin's views, and then moves on to trace the trajectory of Reformed baptismal theology from the Reformed Confessions, through Schleiermacher and on to the present day. He analyses the rite in the contemporary Book of Common Worship and makes practical suggestions about its understandings and adequacy.
John Riggs is Associate Professor of Historical Theology and Church History at Eden Theological Seminary. He has written numerous essays on church history, theology, and worship, as well as Postmodern Christianity: Doing Theology in the Postmodern World (Trinity Press International).
