Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baptism and Christian Archaeology The study of which the following pages are the result was first suggested to me by a conversation with a friend who had joined the Baptist community because, having gone into the question, he had come to the conclusion that the original method of administering the Sacrament was by submersion. I did not believe that he was right in his judgement, but was conscious that I had little definite with which to Oppose his conviction. I knew that baptism by affusion was represented in the catacombs, but I had no idea of the mass of evidence from archaeology that witnessed to it as the universal practice in early ages. I began my study in the belief that it was at least allowed at times; I ended it with the conviction that no other method was adopted till the general introduction of infant baptism in the early middle ages made submersion possible. What I have written has therefore an obvious doctrinal and practical interest, but I have endeavoured to keep out all controversial matter and to treat the question simply as one of archaeology. For the same reason literature has been appealed to mainly in so far as it bears upon the study of Christian antiquities, and to show how it corroborates the witness of contemporary material evidence.
