Modern Immersion Not Scripture Baptism (1831)

By William Thorn

Book Overview

Modern Immersion Not Scripture Baptism is a book written by William Thorn in 1831. The book is a critique of the practice of baptism by immersion, which was gaining popularity in the United States at the time. Thorn argues that immersion is not the only valid form of baptism and that the practice is not supported by scripture. He contends that baptism can be performed by pouring or sprinkling, as well as by immersion, and that the mode of baptism is not as important as the meaning behind it. Thorn also argues that the practice of immersion can be dangerous and that it is not necessary for salvation. The book was written during a time of great debate over baptismal practices in the United States and is an important historical document in the history of American Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
