A Compendious View of the Nature and Importance of Christian Baptism, for the Use of Plain Christians

Presented “for the use of plain Christians,” this work discusses baptism’s “nature and importance.” General Baptist pastor Dan Taylor uses a question-and-answer format, designed to be accessible to everyday Christians. He surveys the issue of baptism and the complicated controversies surrounding it, collecting “what appears to be essential to the controversy into a narrow compass” for the benefit of “common Christians” of his day.
