I am always looking for more historical material concerning different biblical doctrines. I will have to see if I can get my hands on that book. Laron,

Just search for "Everett Ferguson: Baptism in the Patristic Period" on the Web. Also, he has a book coming out Dec. 29,2008, called "Baptism in the Early Church: History, Theology, and Liturgy in the First Five Centuries". You can pre-order on Amazon. I've read some of his books, and I also recommend the book called "The Church of Christ: A Biblical Ecclesiology for Today". For me, Everett seems to be a very good read (although, a little deep for me sometimes...I have to have a dictionary handy) since he leaves the spin out of his books...nothing but meat(my opinion). You might already know all this, but I just thought I'd lay it out there. Now, I personally prefer four study bibles when preparing a lesson, which are: 1. NASB Study Bible by Zondervan 2. ESV 'The Reformation Study Bible' 3. Life Applications Study Bible, NASB 4. Thompson Chain-Reference Bible, NASB I'm just a layman, but I have to teach (and sometimes preach), so, I'm always looking for a good study bible when I have time....any advice on Study Bibles is welcome.
