The Theology of Baptism

The theology of baptism was reviewed in depth during the 1988/1990 debates in General Synod. The content of the initiating debate is set out in full in the Anglican section of this web site.

We caution the reader against thinking that a huge subject like baptism can be understood properly from a few pages on a web-site! As you will see from this poster spotted in the Channel Islands, there are extremes!

We hasten to add this poster does NOT represent BI policy!

We recognise that biblical interpretation on baptism is one of the most divisive issues. Indeed it has been described as the "Water that divides"! We refer researchers to the bibliography in the "Resources" section of this Website. However we have also assembled a number of less public articles - some otherwise unpublished.
