Reader Reviews
Kenneth Stevenson performs a real service here as he discusses seven different approaches to baptism in the early Anglican tradition. William Perkins, Richard Hooker, Lancelot Andrewes, George Herbert, Jeremy Taylor, John Bramhall, Simon Patrick, Herbert Thorndike are all briefly discussed. Stevenson isn't afraid to point out strengths and weaknesses in their respective approaches. Stevenson himself seems to grapple with the question of how one baptism is related to regeneration.
