About This Book

The volume traces the biblical institution of baptism from its Old Testament roots through the Sinai covenant, interpreting ritual washings, sacrifices, and sprinklings as typological preparations for the Christian ordinance. It examines symbolic uses of water, blood, and Spirit, analyzes ceremonial cases such as purification, proselyte baptism, and covenant feasts, and discusses questions of mode, administration, and church membership including infant inclusion. Emphasizing continuity between Israelite rites and New Testament fulfillment, it treats baptism as visible seal of covenant belonging and as a sign of spiritual cleansing and reception into the visible church, combining textual exegesis with historical and theological commentary aimed at clarifying the ordinance’s meaning and function.
