  Amidst Us Our Bleoved Stands

  $24.99

  When it comes to baptism and the Lord’s Supper, many Baptists reject the language of sacrament. As a people of the book, the logic goes, Baptists must not let tradition supersede the Bible. So Baptists tend to view baptism and Communion as ordinances and symbols, not sacraments.

  But the history of Baptists and the sacraments is complicated. In Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands, Michael A. G.

  Baptism : A Guide To Life From Death

  $15.99

  You’ve been baptized. But do you understand what it means?

  Peter Leithart reunifies a church divided by baptism. He recovers the baptismal imagination of the Bible, explaining how baptism works according to Scripture. Then, in conversation with Christian tradition, he shows why baptism is something worth recovering and worth agreeing on.
