This book presents a bold retelling of Baptist history, challenging conventional ideas of the origins of the movement and offering new insights into its development. The author argues that the widespread practice of immersion baptism among Baptists did not begin until 1641 in England. Before that, Baptists baptized by pouring or sprinkling, just like their fellow Protestants. The author bases this claim on a careful examination of historical records, particularly the writings of William Kiffin, a prominent Baptist leader of the time. The book also discusses the various theories about the origins of Baptist immersion and engages with the arguments of leading scholars in the field. This groundbreaking work is a must-read for anyone interested in Baptist history, the history of Christianity, or the development of religious practices. It offers a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in the history of a major world religion.
