Excerpt from Farewell Discourses, Delivered at South Place Chapel, Finsbury, London
It is a long distance that the Church had wandered from the sense of primitive baptism, when its potency was supposed to be conveyed by sprinkling an infant's head. That! May seem'to us an unimportant thing now; but baptism was an expression of the reasonable belief of man that each individual needed moral his demerits were his own, his merits his own; and the' anabaptists took a brave step away from the superstition that man can inherit the sins or be saved by the virtues of another.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the early origins of Christianity from a unique angle, highlighting the remarkable parallels between Gnostic beliefs and the teachings attributed to Jesus. The author argues that Gnostic ideas were far more prevalent in ancient times than previously recognized and that they influenced the development of early Christian thought and ritual practices. The book also challenges the traditional image of Jesus as a divine figure, positing instead that he was a charismatic spiritual leader whose message of love and compassion resonated with oppressed communities in the Roman Empire. The author's analysis sheds new light on the historical context of Jesus' teachings, exploring the diverse array of beliefs and practices that existed in the first centuries of the Christian era.
