Born Again!: By Water and the Word

By Andrew Das

Explore the Scriptural foundation and living promise of infant Baptism.

What does it mean for an infant to be born again by water and the Word? This Bible study draws you into the heart of the Lutheran doctrine of Baptism--not through speculation, but anchored in the Scriptures as the inspired, inerrant Word of God. With clarity and compassion, each session addresses real questions surrounding original sin, faith, and God's gifts to the smallest among us.

Infants are not excluded from either the world's brokenness or God's redeeming promise. Through passages from Genesis to Romans, you will see how Holy Baptism is not merely a symbol, but God's act of adoption, forgiveness, and new life--even for those unable to "accept" or "understand" on their own. Expect practical guidance in responding to doubts and misgivings about infant Baptism, drawing from Martin Luther's Small Catechism and Church history.

Whether you're preparing for adult confirmation, family Baptism, or honest conversations in your congregation, you will find in these pages the assurance of what Christ has done for you--and for your children.
