A Lutheran Looks At Baptists (A Lutheran Looks At…)

A Lutheran Looks At Baptists (A Lutheran Looks At…) by Eric S. Hartzell. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780810021099.

Each volume in the Lutheran Looks At series gives a brief look at the teachings of a particular denomination and compares them to confessional Lutheranism. This provides an invaluable tool for comparative study and helps readers better understand the beliefs of neighbors, coworkers, and friends. This book examines the teachings and beliefs of the Baptist Church. The author describes their Calvinistic roots and shows that, by contrast, most modern Baptists teach some form of decision theology. He demonstrates the multi-denominational nature of Baptists and showcases their unique characteristics. He also notes a lack of formal creeds of denominational loyalties. The author challenges Lutherans to talk confidently, sincerely, and lovingly about their faith with their Baptist friends and relatives.
