Summary Placing aside the foreword and introduction, there are ten chapters or sections to this book. Divided into sections, the first four chapters present the argument that believer’s baptism is based upon the New Testament. Chapter One is more of an essay written by Andreas Kostenberger. Kostenberger places emphasis upon three important baptismals: John the Baptist, Jesus, and the figurative baptisms of the disciples.

He discusses the proper administration of these ordinances and explains how we should properly view these in our worship.
