Baptism Why Wait?

“In this book Dr. Rees Bryant has made a valuable contribution to the exposition of Paul on baptism in his letters. It is a clear expression of the relation between baptism and conversion. The author has rightly explained Paul’s exegesis of Romans 6:1-11. There he has shewn that for a convert to be baptised is to die and be raised from death, but Paul has gone on to state that in that experience the convert has been given a new life in union with Christ. This led Dr. Bryant to see that Paul saw that baptism was the climax of conversion, therefore there was no necessity for a period of instruction separating baptism from conversion. This will be an excellent book to put into the hands of students, pastors and laymen. It will not only clarify what baptism is but they will be able to preach its meaning.” George Beasley-Murray M.A., M.Th., Ph.D.
