Brought into English for the first time is this commentary on the Reformed baptism form by Bastiaan Wielenga, a prominent minister of the word in the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands (GKN) in the early to mid 1900s. This commentary sets forth, defends, and applies the creedal Reformed faith concerning the covenant of grace—the foundation of baptism. This commentary will be especially helpful to Reformed churches, ministers, and other members in its explanation of the baptism form’s authoritative treatment of covenant and election in relation to the baptism of infants. The faith of every believer concerning the sacrament of baptism will be expanded and enriched by the commentary.
What others are saying about this book:
“The ardent desire of my heart is that by the publication of this writing many people reading this work learn to regard baptism more purely, appreciate it more warmly, and more zealously plead the covenantal promises on behalf of believers and their children, before the throne of him who calls himself I Am That I Am." -Bastiaan Wielenga
"[This book] is the translation into English for the first time of a commentary on the Reformed Baptism Form. The commentary was originally written in the Dutch language by a well-known and highly regarded minister in the Netherlands. This is a publication of the RFPA that is of such a nature as to warrant circulation far beyond the sphere of the Protestant Reformed Churches, indeed wherever in the world the Reformed Baptism Form is used and men and women can read English. It should indebt many to the RFPA." -David J. Engelsma
