RT Article T1 Ordained by Christ in his Church?: Jesus and baptism JF Theology VO 112 IS 866 SP 83 OP 91 A1 Waddell, Peter LA English PB SPCK Publishing YR 2009 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1647010128 AB Given the - seemingly undisputed - significance of baptism in primitive Christianity, Jesus' own baptismal practice is surprisingly obscure.
