Reader Reviews
"Baptized into God's Family" is the best book written on the Lutheran doctrine of infant baptism. A. Andrew Das does not write anything that is necessarily new or controversial. What makes this book wonderful is that it explains the historic Lutheran doctrine of infant baptism in a simple and clear manner without suffering a loss of theological substance. The Chapters of the book are as follows: 1. Baptism and Original Sin. 2. Baptism for Salvation and Forgiveness of Sins 3. Infant Faith and Baptism-Part 1 4. Infant Faith and Baptism-Part 2 5. Christ's Command in Matthew 28:18-20 6. Paul's Comparison of Circumcision and Baptism 7. Jewish Baptismal Customs at the Time of Christ. 8. The Baptism of Entire Families and Households 9. Members, by Baptism, of the Family of God! 10. The Testimony of the Early Church 11. A Summary of the Biblical Material This book is excellent for: 1. Lutheran Pastors who want a concise review of the subject for Sunday school or for personal edification. 2. Interested Lutheran laity 3. Non-Lutherans who want a clear and concise introduction to the Lutheran teaching of infant baptism without confusing Lutheran terminology. If this topic is interesting to you I would also recommend the book, "Scriptural Baptism: A Dialog between John Bapsted and Martin Childfont" by Uuras Saarnivaara.
