The doctrine and practices of baptism are worthy of the detailed exploration James Wilkinson Dale provides them.

Dale’s background and research in theology assist him as he gives a compelling exegetical dissertation of Old Testament, New Testament, Christic, and Patristic baptismal practices. Completing this set is a resource written by scholar David B. Ford, which includes a review of the studies, doctrine, and writings of Dale.

Rich with biblical insight and scriptural references, Dale's collection also contains in-depth studies on the original Greek and Latin words for baptism, making his works, along with Ford's, essential tools for anyone wishing to gain a well-rounded and thorough grasp of this much-debated topic. A great addition to any theological collection, these resources prove to be especially accessible in electronic format.
