Baptism: With Reference to Its Import and Modes (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Baptism: With Reference to Its Import and Modes

Besides all this, numerous treatises on Baptism were written in Greek, and allusions to it are frequent in all the Greek Fathers. Moreover, commentaries were written on both the Old Testament and the New, containing constant allusions to baptism, especially in commenting on the Mosaic ritual, and on the predictions of the great purification to be effected by the Messiah, and their fulfilment in the Evangelists; and yet, in no treatise or oommen tary, is the Baptist ground taken, not to say that it is often and pointedly contradicted.
