A Bible History Of Baptism

By Samuel John Baird

Book Overview

A quiet revolution lives within these pages: a careful study of baptism that reads like a map through early Christian life and belief. A Bible History Of Baptism invites readers to walk the aisles of ancient churches, tracing rite, meaning, and practice with steady curiosity and reverent wonder. Samuel J. Baird guides us through historical religious study with clarity and warmth, blending historical theology with strands of church history collection. The book presents baptismal history not as a dry catalogue, but as a living inquiry into how communities perceived cleansing, covenant, and faith. Rich in references to ancient church writers and patristic sources study, it offers a thoughtful entry for scholars while remaining approachable to casual readers curious about early Christianity era, European religious history, or the evolution of the Christian rite. Long treasured by scholars and collectors, the work carries a significance that extends beyond the page. It is a window into how ideas travelled, how dissent and consensus shaped practice, and how the past speaks to today's questions about faith and identity. For clergy readers and serious historians alike, this is more than a reprint-it's a restored, essential signal from a foundational period in Christian life. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
