On Baptism is a theological treatise written by the early Christian theologian Tertullian in the late 2nd century. The book is focused on the sacrament of baptism, which was an essential rite in the early Christian Church. Tertullian discusses the meaning and significance of baptism, its origins and history, and the proper way to administer the sacrament. He argues that baptism is necessary for salvation and that it is a symbolic act of spiritual rebirth and cleansing. Tertullian also addresses various controversies and debates surrounding baptism, including the use of immersion versus pouring, the age at which baptism should be administered, and the validity of baptism performed by heretics or schismatics. The book provides valuable insight into the early Christian Church's beliefs and practices and remains an important work of Christian theology to this day.I know not whether any further point is mooted to bring baptism into controversy. Permit me to call to mind what I have omitted above, lest I seem to break off the train of impending thoughts in the middle. There is to us one, and but one, baptism; as well according to the Lord's gospel[11] as according to the apostle's letters, [12] inasmuch as he says, ""One God, and one baptism, and one church in the heavens.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
