An Examination of the Practice of Ordination in Southern Baptist Churches

What is Ordination in the Baptist Church?

Ordination has always been an important ritual in most churches and denominations, particularly Southern Baptists churches. But where did the practice of baptist ordination originate? Does ordination have any biblical basis? Can we point to Scripture passages that define the why and how of ordination?

This book attempts to answer those questions, examining both the traditional and biblical backgrounds. For those searching for answers on ordination, this book will help you get started on your quest.
