Must read

This is a must read for anyone seeking to understand baptism from a biblical and historical perspective. Easy to understand, yet challenging. This should be on every Christian’s shelf, regardless on what side you fall on.

Very Helpful Resource (Great Audio Quality)

This is a well researched and thorough treatment of baptism. Even if you might disagree with the author, his engagement with a variety of sources and manner of communication is winsome, as he regularly cites sources on both sides of the debate. Goeman searches the Scriptures and church history to provide a well rounded analysis of the paedobaptist view and offer an alternative perspective. Though Peter Goeman is an academic and writes with scholarly precision, “The Baptism Debate” is an accessible text for both church leaders and lay people.

Excellent

A great resource for all those battling with what the Bible says about baptism. A nice touch to have Peter himself doing the audiobook. Was just like listening to his podcast “The Bible Sojourner”. Highly recommend.
