Synopsis

This book adds a new voice to the ongoing debate on one of Christianity's most important customs. The author, an experienced theologian, examines the historical, linguistic, and practical dimensions of baptism, with a special focus on the act of immersion. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from the Bible to church history to contemporary scholarship, the author argues that immersion is not essential to the sacrament of baptism. He traces the development of immersion as the standard practice and examines the reasons for its adoption, shedding light on the evolution of Christian practices and beliefs.
