The Baptized Body by Peter J Leithart
What does baptism do to the baptized? Nothing? Something? In this study, Peter Leithart examines this single question of baptismal efficacy. He challenges several common but false assumptions about God, man, the church, salvation, and more that confuse discussions about baptism. He aims to offer a careful and simple discussion of all the central biblical texts that speak to us about baptism, the nature of signs and rites, the character of the church as the body of Christ, and the possibility of apostasy. In the end, he urges us to face up to the wonderful conclusion that Scripture attributes an astonishing power to the initiation rite of baptism.Peter J.Leithart (PhD, University of Cambridge) is president of Theopolis Institute in Birmingham, Alabama, and adjunct senior fellow of theology and literature at New Saint Andrews College. He is also a former pastor. He is the author of several publications, including the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible's Traces of the Trinity, 1 & 2 Kings, and Athanasius in the Foundations of Theological Exegesis and Christian Spirituality series. He's also a Touchstone contributing editor and a regular blogger at firstthings.com.
