Matters are quickly complicated once other factors are considered, such as faith, instruction, baptism, first communion, and formal membership. Who should be baptized? What role does instruction play? And what is the best order of these things? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathan D. Watson's \u003ci\u003eIn the Name of Our Lord\u003c\/i\u003e provides an explanatory typology and incisive analysis for thinking through these interrelated questions. Watson's four-model framework accounts for the major historical varieties of relationship between baptism and catechesis as initiation into the church. With this framework in place, Watson then considers each model in relation to one another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a guide to navigating the terrain, readers can comprehend, compare, and contrast these different theological formulations. Readers will have a sophisticated but clear system for thinking through foundational matters that are important to every pastor and congregant.","brand":"Jonathan D.
