This book takes a very good, simple look at not only the history of baptism before Christ, but also the practice of it after Christ. It's written from the three main viewpoints of how baptism is used in the various churches, and gives an honest look at the reasons why each view is right and wrong in their ideas of what baptism is. It's an easy read and very informative, and I liked it very much. I am not a person who likes to read non-fiction, but I found this easy to read and follow, and very enjoyable. I highly recommend it no matter what you might or might not believe about baptism.
