Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges the Christian understanding of baptism, and indeed, the very basis of Christianity. The author begins by referencing the different ways in which the Bible's authors describe baptism, and concludes that Jesus instructed his disciples to baptize with the Holy Spirit, not water. A significant body of the book provides a history of water baptism, concluding that this is as a ritual that originated as a pagan practice that was adopted by the Jews before being incorporated, in a modified form, into Christianity. The author asserts that the concept of original sin, for which baptism was supposedly a remedy, was a doctrine formulated by Augustine of Hippo. Challenging traditional Christian views on the nature and practice of baptism, this book will appeal to readers who seek new perspectives on the foundational beliefs and practices of their faith.
