Challenging the standard account of baptism in English history
This nonfiction work investigates the history of baptism among English Baptists, focusing on the debate over immersion versus sprinkling before 1641. It examines controversial documents, alleged witnesses, and later interpretations to test whether immersion was truly unknown in England and how later claims were formed.

What you’ll gain from this book:
- A careful look at conflicting sources, including anonymous manuscripts and later histories, and how they were used in arguments about baptism.
- A clear account of how the 1643 Confession described immersion and the role of the administrator in baptism.
- A discussion of how laws and political turmoil affected baptism practices in 17th-century England.

Key ideas you’ll encounter:
- How evidence is evaluated when documents are disputed or deemed unreliable.
- The distinction between belief in immersion as a practice and how it was legislated or resisted in different periods.
- How contemporary scholars and clergymen viewed baptism, including references to notable figures and scholarly opinions.

Ideal for readers of Church history, denominational studies, and those curious about the origins of baptismal practices in England. This edition presents the arguments, counterarguments, and documentary challenges in a structured, accessible way, enabling readers to follow the historical debate with clarity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers historical evidence challenging the long-held belief that English Baptists exclusively practiced pouring and sprinkling for baptism for nearly all the 16th century, and up to 1641 in the 17th century, before immersion was introduced by one Richard Blunt in 1641. The author marshals a wealth of primary source material, including wills, court records, and previously unknown or overlooked documents, to meticulously examine the historical record. The author argues that there is substantial evidence to refute the so-called "1641 theory" and conclude that immersion of believers was practiced in England long before 1641. The book also explores the broader historical and literary context of the Baptist movement, and discusses the thematic depth of the debate over baptism, shedding new light on this significant aspect of church history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
