Taufe, Glaube, Geist: Ein Beitrag zur neueren innerevangelischen Diskussion

by Jorg Bickelhaupt

Overview

Contrary to common assumptions there is no consensus on baptism within the ecumenical movement. "Baptism, Faith, Spirit" examines a variety of Protestant theological traditions, looking at their baptismal practice, theological foundations and current doctrine. It analyzes their fundamental theological principles, biblical hermeneutics, theological-historical experiences and developments as well as the anthropological and religious-philosophical assumptions underpinning them. The book reflects on the ever-pertinent question whether the ecumenical debates juxtaposing infant baptism and believer's baptism in the dialogue with Anabaptist traditions as well as the debate over baptism in the Holy Spirit with the Pentecostals could be overcome despite the fact that they still divide our churches. It assesses various options of mutual recognition despite remaining differences in the theology and practice of baptism.
