| Summary | "A Bible History of Baptism" by Samuel J. Baird is a scholarly historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the origins and significance of baptism as an ordinance within the Judeo-Christian tradition, particularly emphasizing its role in sealing covenants and as a significant religious ritual. Baird aims to elevate the understanding of baptism from mere disputes about its practice into an appreciation of its profound spiritual implications and historical context." "The opening portion of the book sets the stage for a detailed examination of baptism, highlighting its deep roots in the Old Testament, particularly at Sinai, where Israel entered into a covenant with God. Baird discusses various forms of baptism recognized in the Jewish tradition, distinctly noting that immersion as commonly understood did not form part of the Old Testament ritual. He emphasizes the rich symbolism of baptism, linking it to the themes of purification and renewal, which were acted out during Israel's covenant with God, establishing it as a critical aspect of the visible church's foundations."
