This book on baptism is a jewel. One seldom comes across a book that simultaneously matches such simplicity to profundity, and vice versa. The author wxcels at clarifying the marvelous continuity (and discontinuity) between the old and new covenant with repect to the questions of baptism - infant baptism in particular. Westerink's book honors the unity of God's written revelation as the author explores, e.g., the meaning and relationship between circumcision and baptism. Thus, the reader is offered an approach to Scripture at direct odds with the dispensational theology so prominent in North American fundamentalism today.
