Jordan and Brandon talk with Gavin Ortlund about the history and meaning of baptism. They cover topics like what is baptism and what has been shared about baptism throughout the history of the church (if anything!)? What were the sacramental views on baptism of the early church (i.e. what did they think baptism accomplished? What was the role of baptism in salvation?)? How did this develop and change over time? Was there a majority view on paedobaptism or credobaptism in the patristic church? What was the rational for paedobaptism at different times in history? How does this contrast to the Reformed rational? And more!
