Project Gutenberg 2017-09-14 Public domain in the USA. 132 Seefried, Johannes 1881 1956 Die Christliche Taufe im Lichte der hl. Schrift und der Geschichte von der Zeit ihrer Entstehung bis auf die Gegenwart Produced by Heiko Evermann and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Die Christliche Taufe" by Johannes Seefried is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the concept and significance of Christian baptism, examining its scriptural basis and historical evolution from its inception to contemporary practices. The author emphasizes the essential nature and transformative power of baptism as ordained by Christ, expressing concern over how human interpretations and traditions may have distorted its original meaning. At the start of the treatise, Seefried lays the groundwork by highlighting the importance of baptism as a divine command rather than a mere ritual. He reflects on biblical passages where Jesus emphasizes the necessity of baptism for salvation and asserts that various human alterations over the centuries have led to misunderstandings about its true significance. He sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of baptism's origins, its forms, and the vital prerequisites—such as repentance and belief—essential for those wishing to partake in this sacred rite, all framed within a historical and doctrinal context.
