Introduction by Richard Walker:

Part I: Baptism

The New Testament teaching concerning baptism gets in the way of some very popular theological theories, and for that reason the teaching is often neglected. Nonetheless, baptism is important. It is important because it occupies a crucial place in the New Testament with regards to conversion, and no serious Bible student should ignore it. The purpose of this study is to look at what the authors of the New Testament said about baptism.

Part II: Elders

The reason for this study is that the New Testament contains information that should be used in the choosing of elders. It also contains information that elders can to use to guide their ministry.

Part III: Women’s Roles

Although Jesus’ apostles were all men, no one should think that Jesus did not associate with women. A woman’s role is so many-sided and so important that I do not presume to be able to comprehend it fully or to describe it adequately. I can only point to the Scriptures with the confidence that they will shed light on the subject.
