J. Matthew Pinson, a Free Will Baptist scholar (I'd say theologian), writes a stirring defense and apologetic in support of feet-washing, which is an ordinance in the Free Will Baptist Church on par with the Lord's Supper and baptism. Although this book is derived from a series of lectures, and Pinson claims it is thoughtful, not scholarly, Pinson is being modest. This book, though there are a few un-intrusive contractions, is scholarly. He talks about the history, he gets exegetical with the Bible passages, he makes theological arguments. And it is properly and well cited with footnotes, it contains a bibliography, three appendices, and subject, scripture, and name indices. A good book. After considering Pinson's arguments, I now more fully accept that the washing of the saints' feet should be practiced as an ordinance of the church.
