This book is a compilation of thoughts of standard authors, historians and lexicographers of ancient and modern times, together with reflections by the author. The book is designed to prove that “sprinkling for baptism” is not authorized by the Bible. The book makes a valuable ready reference for the preacher, the Bible teacher, or anyone who needs information about the origination of the religious practice of sprinkling, its history, its inadequacy, etc. The book was affectionately dedicated “to all preachers of the Gospel of Christ who love ‘primitive Christianity’ as published in the New Testament, and who contend earnestly for the commandments as they were delivered to the Apostles of Christ.”
