| Summary: | This study is best described as an omnibus edition of what but for a most generous publisher should have been at least two, if not three separate volumes. Everett Ferguson has undertaken an exhaustive study of as many documents as at present are known which mention or describe or treat baptism, from the classical and Jewish antecedents through to the fifth century. This is certainly a marathon undertaking. The author begins with a survey of earlier works on baptism relating to this period, in English, German, and French, from 1702 until the reviewer’s own work of 2006, as well as topical studies and collections of relevant texts. |
