I have read this book, and gained insight from it.
In the book Baptism: A Biblical Study Jack Cottrell tries to show the reader his out look on the scriptures concerning baptism. He states that the scriptures in the New Testament speak for themselves. While there are quite a few scriptures with the word “baptism” in them, he chose twelve different texts that he felt showed the truth of what baptism was. Cottrell made the reader aware that these text showed and all agreed that baptism is a necessary step in a salvation, and was the main point of all the selected text.
