Missionary Baptism! Yes! . . . All you say is just right. The theologies can be harmonized, I believe. Jesus' final words were 'be one.' Cameron, you're doing it! Thank you. --D. Clair Davis, Professor of Church History emeritus, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Believers' baptism and infant baptism are sometimes viewed in strong opposition to each other. However, this book narrows the divide and makes a case for a church accepting both approaches. I appreciate Cameron Fraser's warm heart for mission, conversion, and unity in Christ. --David J. Feddes, Provost, Christian Leaders Institute, and Pastor, Family of Faith CRC, Monee, Illinois Any future studies of baptism will need to take this one into account. I commend Cameron for his concern for unity. --John M. Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida Dr. Cameron Fraser has written with his usual verve and vigor, clarity and conviction on a subject that is of perennial debate in the church. I warmly commend his contribution to the discussion. Even if you disagree with his conclusion, you will have had your mind stretched and heart warmed in the process. --Liam W. Goligher, Senior Minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania If it has ever occurred to you that those practicing infant baptism have different and sometimes conflicting notions of what the sacrament means and accomplishes, then perhaps you will be ready to consider, with Cameron Fraser, that this discord exists because important fundamental questions have been neglected. Cameron ably adjudicates those questions here. --Kenneth J. Stewart, Professor of Theological Studies emeritus, Covenant College, Lookout Mountain, Georgia
