The key to restoring the uniqueness of Baptism for
Southern Baptists
resides in using the tension between the burgeoning
revival of
British baptismal sacramentalism and the
long-standing suspicion
toward all things sacramental among American
Baptists in order to
understand and advance traditional baptismal
distinctiveness. The
book first develops a baptismal typology by
evaluating the various
differences between the 5 models of Reformation
sacramentalism:
Roman Catholic Efficacy, Luther s Inauguration,
Calvin s Seal,
Zwingli s Symbol-Only, and the Anabaptists
Faith-Baptism. It then
examines the unified voice of American Baptists
intent on retaining
anti-sacramental language and theology. American
Baptists tend to
follow an Anabaptist view of Baptism namely a
testimony of faith.
In Great Britain, however, Baptists are more open to
use sacramental
language and many have embraced a refined version of conversion
Baptism very similar to that proposed by the American
Restorationist tradition. The book champions a sacred theology of
Baptism and interprets it as an ordained sign with
sacred
significance.
