This book explores the ceremonial use of water in baptism and the Christian ordinance of baptism. The author examines historical and biblical records, drawing from the Old Testament, the apocrypha, and the New Testament. In examining the original languages as well as the historical and cultural contexts of the biblical texts, the author illustrates the various ways water was used in Jewish and Christian baptism. The book examines passages from the New Testament that are often cited to support the practice of dipping as the only biblical mode of baptism. The author demonstrates that the original Greek word for baptize does not necessitate full immersion, and that various forms of water application were practiced in the early church. This book will be of great interest to students of the New Testament, church historians, and anyone interested in the history and development of Christian traditions and practices.
