The Sacrament of Baptism

Covenant Baptism (Blessings of the Faith Series)

This is the book that I put into the hands of those who are not familiar with the Reformed practice of covenant/infant/family baptism. Jason’s book is simple, straightforward, and does not flood the reader with too much information, which is important in a topic like this.

Baptism: Answers to Common Questions

There is some similarity in audience between this book and the above book by Jason Helopoulos. However, this book in particular differentiates itself with its format, which is geared around the sort of questions those new to covenant baptism often ask. My preference is to keep multiple copies of both books around.

Word, Water, and Spirit: A Reformed Perspective on Baptism

Not only is this a great book on the history of baptism and how different traditions have developed on this topic, but it’s a great argument for the Reformed doctrine of covenant baptism, and on its use as a means of grace.
