Synopsis

This book has been written to explain a specific historical question: how was Jesus baptized? The author begins with a fascinating comparison between Jesus's baptism and a contemporary example to illustrate the importance of understanding this rite in its historical context. From there, the book analyzes relevant biblical passages and explores the historical background of baptism in ancient Judaism, arguing that immersion was never practiced in the Old Testament tradition. Through a careful examination of the evidence, the author concludes that Jesus was most likely baptized by sprinkling, a method that aligns with the symbolism of the ritual and the broader understanding of baptism in the early Christian context.
