New Book on the History of Baptism

It's Baptism in the Early Church: History, Theology, and Liturgy in the First Five Centuries by Everett Ferguson (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2009), 953 pages.

All I know about this book I got from thumbing through it in the bookstore. Apparently, it gives historical summaries and/or translations and/or theological summaries of baptismal documents from the first 500 years of church history (up to the beginning of the medieval era).

Looks interesting, but I don't know any more about it than that.
