Description: This book examines the origins and evolution of a central sacrament within Christianity: Baptism. The author, a scholar of religious history, studies the historical and philological evidence for the practice, analyzing major biblical texts and the writings of early Church authorities. Through meticulous and comprehensive research, the book uncovers the origins of this sacrament, from its Jewish roots through its pivotal transformation under Christ's teachings. It carefully examines the differing interpretations of the mode of Baptism (such as immersion or pouring) by various denominations, shedding light on the historical, cultural, and exegetical factors that influenced these interpretations. The book highlights the symbolic and spiritual significance of Baptism within the Christian faith, exploring how the practice has evolved over time, from its earliest forms to its current significance.
