Daniel Baker’s Views on Baptism

Join us this week as we revisit Presbyterian minister Daniel Baker’s A Plain and Scriptural View of Baptism (1853). In this concise, winsome exposition—rooted in both adult and infant covenantal theology—Baker distills biblical teaching on the mode and significance of baptism. Based on an earlier Washington, D.C. sermon (A Scriptural View of Baptism, 1827), and later condensed into Baptism in a Nutshell (1856), his timeless clarity continues to edify today. Tune in to discover why his pastoral voice remains so compelling for thoughtful Christian listeners.
