About this book
The discussion rejects immersion as the meaning of baptism, arguing that the scriptural use of the term supplies no evidence in support of that rite. The text contrasts baptism dispensed by Christ from his throne with a rite that, according to the argument, looks downward toward the grave. The text asks readers what characteristic of scriptural baptism can be traced in immersion, whether in its doctrine or its form.
The discussion of purification connects the washing of pots and cups with self-washings, sprinklings, and the purification of things prescribed by Moses. The account of John’s baptism says that people remained unclean where the intended separation unto Christ had not actually taken place.
