The Water that Divides

This volume would go some way to help people rethink what are true Gospel vitals and what are secondary, and hence non-divisive, issues. I commend this book to get Christians thinking and seeking a mutual way forward - we cannot afford the luxury of glasshouses, whichever side of the debate we stand.

“This revised and updated version (of The Water that Divides) is a model of the informed, respectful and irenic dialogue of which Evangelicalism stands in continual need. The final chapter, which sensitively sets baptismal practice within today’s context, is a particularly valuable survey, whatever our stance on the cluster of issues which gather under the canopy of ‘post-modernism’. This is an invaluable text for all involved, at every level, with Christian initiation and local church membership.”
