Baptism According to Scripture

** "Baptism According to Scripture" by E. H. (Edward Hatch) Hoare is a religious study that closely examines the idea of baptism as it appears in the Bible. The book digs into different Bible verses to figure out the importance and effects of baptism for Christians. Starting with a discussion from a church meeting about baptism as a sacred act, the writer promises to carefully study every important Bible verse on the subject. From there, the book looks at old customs and ways of understanding baptism, connecting people from the Old Testament to the teachings of John the Baptist and Jesus in the New Testament. By doing this, Hoare wants to make clear the Bible's reasons for baptism, looking at its job in the Christian community and how it connects to ideas like regret and belief. **
