About this title

Review:

"Brilliantly written, Down in the River to Pray is the most significant book on baptism to come out of the Stone-Campbell movement and should have wide influence in the larger Christian world...Every congregation should thoroughly study this biblical, historical, theological, and practical portrait of baptism."

--- Gary Holloway, Lipscomb University, Nashville, Tennessee

"John Mark Hicks and Greg Taylor have written a valuable book. Tracing baptism from its roots in Israel to the present day, they take a high view of baptism, calling it an 'effectual sign, a sign that actually effects what it symbolizes.'"

--- Rees Bryant, Florida Christian College, Kissimmee, Florida
